Later this year, the silly season and a silly series will collide. Sort of.

Brand new silly season event, the Kiwi Challenge, takes place in New Zealand Oct. 27-28. Brandt Snedeker is one of the four participants. And at the same time, the Golf Channel's "Big Break X: Michigan" will be airing. And Haymes Snedeker will be a contestant.

Brandt and Haymes. What were those parents thinking ...

Amber Prange - Ashley's little sister - will also be a contestant on "Big Break X," which will be a team competition. Two-person teams, with the two people on each team having some sort of "relationship" - whether familial, friendly, or very friendly (wink wink, nudge nudge). You can check out the cast here.

As for the Kiwi Challenge: Its sounds like a Grand Slam of Golf format, but not necessarily with major champions. Just the best four golfers they can get to commit to play 36 holes of stroke play for a first prize of $1.5 million. The total purse is $2.6 million, and in addition to Snedeker the other three golfers are Adam Scott, Anthony Kim and Hunter Mahan (good on the Kiwis for not sticking Michael Campbell in there). NBC will televise it in the States.
