The old JC Penney event was a lot of fun, and it attracted a fairly good field of PGA pros (I'm not sure they would be able to get a similar field now). For instance, Se Ri played with Paul Azinger, and Laura Davies was teamed with her harder-drinking PGA doppelganger John Daly. Tiger even played with fellow Nike sponsoree Kelli Kuehne. If he were to show up and join Michelle Wie for one of these things nowadays the Internet would probably explode.
The year I watched (I think 1999?), Se Ri and Laura's teams ended up in a playoff. Se Ri was just 21 that year, about a decade or so younger than everyone else in that playoff. Laura's team ended up winning, but Azinger couldn't stop gushing afterwards about how impressive Se Ri was. I still have it on VHS somewhere.
Alas, the event was canceled shortly after that.
