Steve Stricker to wield wedge to win Whistling Straits tickets

Steve Stricker may be a part-time pro golfer these days, but his wedge game is still as sharp as the best in the world. He's hoping that will translate into a pair of great 2015 PGA Championship tickets for two Wisconsin football fans.

During halftime of the Oct. 11 game at Camp Randall Stadium against Illinois (curiously, Stricker's alma mater), Stricker will hit a 135-yard shot from the video-board platform to the school's midfield W. If the ball lands on the target, a fan will win a pair of Wanamaker Club tickets to next August's PGA Championship at Whistling Straits in Kohler, Wisc.

Wanamaker Club tickets run $475 for the week and come with access to "an air-conditioned, sports-bar themed pavilion with indoor seating, multiple HDTVs and upgraded food and beverage available for purchase," according to the PGA Championship website.
