LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - 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 $250,000 first place prize money 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.
