Steve Wynn is widely known as one of the world's great casino operators, though his reputation as a golf course designer is more of a secret.

But Wynn played a large role in the design of Shadow Creek Golf Club in North Las Vegas, now rated 20th on "Golf Digest's" list of the 100 greatest courses in the country.

And Wynn is just as happy with his newest work, the Wynn Las Vegas Golf Club.

But unlike Shadow Creek, Wynn has lifted the veil of exclusivity around his latest creation just a bit. He has agreed to have The Ultimate Game, a high-stakes tournament with golf's richest prize, played on his course and televised nationally.

Fox will broadcast the final two rounds of The Ultimate Game, which is open to anyone who has never been a fully exempt member of the PGA Tour, the European PGA Tour, the Champions Tour or the Nationwide Tour, on tape delay June 9 and 10.

Organizers announced at a Tuesday news conference that the field of 160 will compete in match-play rounds at Reflection Bay Golf Club and The Falls Golf Club at Lake Las Vegas in Henderson from May 29 through June 1. The surviving 12 will advance for two rounds of medal play at Wynn Las Vegas on June 7 and 8, with the winner taking home $2 million.
