HONOLULU -- The PGA is going to move the Grand Slam of Golf, that features the four winners of the tour's majors, from Kauai to Las Vegas, according to a golf analyst.

The tournament has been at the Poipu Bay Golf Course for 12 years. The move will happen next year, NBC golf analyst and Maui resident Mark Rolfing told KITV.

Don Renteria, of the Poipu Bay Golf Course, said there is no official word on the change. He did say that the tournament is on a year-to-year contract with the PGA.

An official announcement is expected to be made by the tour in three weeks.

Las Vegas and the Caribbean were vying for the tournament.

The high cost of sending equipment to Hawaii and the cost of production is said to have been a major concern about Poipu as a venue.

Each year the tournament pits the four winners of the PGA majors: the Masters, the U.S. Open, the British Open and the PGA Championship.

This year's field on Nov. 22-23 will include Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Michael Campbell and Vijay Singh.

The tournament brings in millions of dollars to the Garden Isle. Tourists flock to the tournament to watch the games best. The broadcast is also a major boost because it often features plush tropical conditions when many parts of the mainland are starting to feel the frigid blasts of late fall and early winter.
