The skill of golf and the wagering savvy of poker:
World Series of Golf® returns to Las
Vegas May 12 – 15
Las Vegas, Nevada (March 5, 2008)
– Described as the most innovative golf event since
the Skins Game,
The
World
Series of Golf® (OTCBB:WSGF),
returns to Las Vegas May 12 – 15.
To be played at the Paiute Golf Resort, the
tournament combines the skill of golf with the
wagering format of Texas Hold ‘Em poker and gives up
to 125 amateur players the opportunity to compete
for a top prize of $250,000 on national television.
“The World Series of
Golf is a completely new way to experience the game
of golf. It demands skill on the links, betting
savvy and nerves of steel,” said Terry Leiweke,
president of the World Series of Golf. “For any
golfer who has ever said ‘I’d bet anything that I
can make this shot,’ now is his chance to prove it.”
Played in a
patent-pending method of play, the World Series of
Golf allows for high stakes to ride on each and
every shot of the tournament. Similar to poker,
players must ante up before teeing off at each
hole. Depending on the outcome of the tee shots,
the player can then raise, call, check or fold on
subsequent shots, with the winner of the hole
collecting the pot. The result is a dramatic
competition in which every shot counts, and wagering
strategy is just as important as skill. As in poker,
when a player no longer has any chips to ante up,
that player is eliminated. The winner of each group
moves onto the next round until the final group
yields the golfer who is crowned the champion of the
World Series of Golf.
2008 Registration Now Open
Registration for
up to 125 amateur players is now open at
www.worldseriesofgolf.com. Buy-in for the
tournament is $10,000, which is immediately won
back by every player who wins their initial
pairing and advances to the second round. Due
to the large purse of the event, and the unique
method of play, participants must go through an
accreditation process to substantiate their golf
handicap. This ensures an even playing field
with golfers competing against others of similar
skill.
The World Series
of Golf not only promises high drama and high
stakes, but as part of the buy-in, participants
will enjoy a VIP stay at The Mirage Hotel &
Casino, the official host hotel of the event.
In addition to world-class accommodations and
amenities, participants will enjoy an opening
night pairings party, pre-arranged
transportation to and from the course, special
entertainment and a closing night awards banquet
in which the winner of the event is crowned and
the $250,000 first place prize is awarded.
