Excerpt from Press Release:
Story after story is being written this week by sports writers around the world about the rain delayed Accenture Match Play Championship at La Costa Resort. This is the latest edition of the World Golf Championships that replaced the old World Series of Golf event called the NEC Invitational that was played at Firestone five of its first six years. Accenture features an elite 64-man field of pros playing for a $7.5 million purse with $1.3 million going to the guy who makes it five matches.
Few golfers know that the World Series of Golf (WSG) is back and will truly offer golfers from around the world, not just 64 elite pros, a chance to walk away with a slice of a $3.8 million purse where the winner pockets a cool $1 million! Anyone who has heard of this new tournament soon realizes that it is for good golfers with nerves of steel where driving, chipping and putting only represents half of the skill set needed to win. Unlike the Accenture Match Play Championship format, the new World Series of Golf format combines the excitement of golf with one of the world’s most popular card games… poker. It is designed to give non-professional golfers a fair opportunity to compete in a world-class golf event where they can win big money playing against equal or better golfers, even professionals. The equalizing element comes from an exciting hole-by-hole bet-and-play format that is modeled after the game of poker.
