  He won one of the People vs the Pros sweepstakes.  It was randomly drawn. 

  Met him in person, he's a nice guy. =)

  There were 8 drawings total throughout July, August, September & October.  It was a $5 entry (per period) for a CTTH and random winners were selected.  There were also 4 stroke play tourneys, each sending one winner from the Pro and Master division.  All in all, they paid for 16 people to go even though only 12 actually showed up.

  I think those are the biggest prize packages WGT has offered, but I'm sure they'll trump it somehow soon enough.
