WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) -- American golfers Hunter Mahan, Anthony Kim, Sean O'Hair and Colombia's Camilo Villegas will compete for a $1 million winner's check in November's PGA TOUR-sanctioned Kiwi Challenge.

The 36-hole made-for-television event will be played at the Cape Kidnappers course on the east coast of New Zealand's North Island on Nov. 11 and 12 and will carry total prize money of $2 million.

Mahan, 27, won last year's inaugural event that included Kim and Brandt Snedeker.

"I'd sure call it one of my favorite places for a few reasons," Mahan said. "The course is fantastic and the views are incredible, like nothing I've ever seen before."
