Are the groups in the pro-ams that precede PGA events determined by
lot, or by highest bidder, or just whatever the organizers decide?

They usually have a dinner and a draw party the night before. This is
after the big money sponsors decide who they'd like to play with, of
course. They pay $20,000 to play with Tiger Woods and all that gets
them is a 6:00AM tee time and a handshake.

I would expect the golden rule applies to some extent. "Whoever has
the gold makes the rules."

Otherwise, for the regular schleps, it's a lottery.
