That high bar is what motivated us all to imagine grand things.
Your Unique THP Event
Alright so the more I think about it, I'll throw this out there.
The Callaway Pre-Owned Shop Till You Drop Open
I'm picturing each competitor get's a budget say $500, then they have to shop the isles for clubs to fill a bag, however they would like, and then compete with those clubs for the first round of golf. Depending on how you finished that round or matches, then you would get more time and/or money to go get another club or swap stuff depending on budget and then use that updated set of equipment for the next day's golf.
Finally depending on who won the event it could be a budget or time shopping spree in the warehouse for the winner. Or maybe you get to pull X number of items and that's it, with a time limit on the shopping time.
Austin was a great city and I'm sure there's plenty of golf options, if that Falcon course that was used for the previous event was a nice facility and practice area.

What brand(s) do you partner with? Callaway
How many participants? 8
What course are you partnering with? (Assuming golf is involved) Southern Hills
What time of year? 2 weeks before the PGA Championship
SWAG planned? THP Gear, PGA Championship Gear A Callaway Major Staff Bag with each players name on it
All expense paid or cost for entry? Small Fee
What would make it special is the opportunity to take in the course a few weeks prior to a major championship with getting a Major Staff bag the players will get.

My event requires a wealthy sponsor. And, just to be clear, that's not me. I am the opposite of wealthy. 
My vision is for a brand agnostic event. Each participant selected gets to put together a full bag of clubs of their choice (with reasonable constraints, of course). Each can go with one OEM or mix and match as desired. One possible business partner in this is a nationwide fitting company like Club Champion. But I still think the dollars for travel and other logistical needs will need to come from someone flush with golf-loving cash.
The location is Pebble Beach, playing 2 different courses over a 3-day period. 3 teams of 4 will compete. As part of my vision, a team of THP staff will be onsite to support logistics, foster THP culture and engagement, and provide opportunities for participants to evaluate their gear choices with the expertise of the THP team. In other words, this event has a hands on THP component.
Finally, a celebrity golfer and/or a PGA or LPGA tour pro gives the group a lesson on something cool. Say, bunker play or short game or course strategy. This is clearly aspirational and hard to bring into reality.
Outcomes will focus on the fitting experience and learning how to put together a club set that truly aligns with the skills, weaknesses, and goals of each golfer.
