GOLF Channel's 'Big Break' Marathons Continue Monday with 'Big Break Atlantis'

Big Break Atlantis and Big Break Greenbrier Seasons Launch on GOLFPASS on Friday, Bringing Number of Seasons Available on GOLFPASS to 17


(ORLANDO, Fla.) – GOLF Channel continues its “Big Break Monday” marathons with an encore presentation of Big Break Atlantis, the series’ 17th season that featured an all-female cast of Symetra Tour players looking to take the next step in their careers to the LPGA Tour, as well as players who recently turned professional for the series.

Initially premiering today (May 14) in 2012, Big Break Atlantis will air in its entirety on Monday from 6 a.m.-6 p.m. ET, along with a primetime encore of the final three episodes from 8-11 p.m. ET.

The 11-episode season featured a 12-person cast competing against each other in golf skills challenges in an attempt to make their lifelong dream of playing alongside the world’s top golfers a reality. Players were eliminated each episode, with the last one standing crowned Big Break champion.

The finale featured an 18-hole championship match between Symetra Tour players Marcela Leon and Selanee Henderson. The winner received more than $80,000 in cash and prizes, an exemption to the 2012 LPGA Kingsmill Championship and full exempt status for the 2013 Symetra Tour season.

Multiple major champion Yani Tseng joined Big Break Atlantis as a special guest on the season’s second episode, competing in challenges alongside the contestants. Tseng is the youngest player – male or female – to win five major championships, and was No. 1 in the Women’s World Golf Rankings for 109 weeks from 2011 to 2013.
