World Series of Golf Hires Emerging Growth Advisors, LLC

Business Wire,  July 1, 2008  

Small-Cap Specialist Firm to Assist With Operational & Strategic Planning

LAS VEGAS -- World Series of Golf, Inc. (OTCBB: WSGF), a competitive tournament, entertainment, and online enterprise company that owns the rights to "The World Series of Golf[R]," a patent-pending golf game that combines the wagering format of Texas Hold 'Em with the skill of golf, has retained Emerging Growth Advisors (EGA), a full-service advisory and capital company specializing in operational and strategic planning for small-cap publicly traded companies.

"EGA aspires to lay a foundation for the future success of World Series of Golf through the implementation of controls that will clear a path to profitability," says Timothy Glynn, CEO of Emerging Growth Advisors, Inc. EGA brings World Series of Golf "full transparency," allowing all stakeholders to benefit from the Company's success. "With the World Series of Golf we are witnessing a company on the verge of worldwide success through its patented platform. Moreover, World Series of Golf has a talented management team with a wealth of experience in the sports, entertainment, and broadcast industries. Our message to them from the

outset has been, 'You do what you do best and we'll do the rest.'"

"We are delighted to work with the consulting experts at Emerging Growth Advisors, particularly on the heels of our national CBS broadcast and the completion of our online beta version of The World Series of Golf," says Terry Leiweke, president of World Series of Golf and NCAA football record holder. "Our relationship with EGA allows us to further focus on our core competencies during this exciting time in our corporate history."

The World Series of Golf combines the wagering format of Texas Hold 'Em with the skill of golf in a patent-pending format that allows for high-stakes to ride on each golf hole. Players ante up on each tee, then can bet, raise, call, check, or fold on each subsequent shot. Rather than shooting the lowest golf course score, the object of the game is to claim the pot on each hole, eventually eliminating your opponents by winning all of their chips. With a $10,000 buy-in, the event attracted amateur golfers from across the United States and Canada. Participants represented all walks of life ranging from private equity investors and Las Vegas high rollers to electricians and construction contractors.

The World Series of Golf has engaged in a multi-year domestic U.S. broadcast partnership with network television's sports leader, CBS Sports, and recently televised its 2008 Annual event from the Mirage Hotel & Casino.
