Business Wire, June 25, 2008
Company Expands Online Presence In Anticipation of National Broadcast on CBS Sports June 28-29, 2008
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 method of play that provides players an event that combines the wagering format of Texas Hold 'Em with the skill of golf, has launched an online blog, http://blog.worldseriesofgolf.com.
The World Series of Golf Blog will feature articles about the World Series of Golf management family, profiles and interviews with tournament players, online tutorials, and more. Articles will contain links to videos, pictures, and information from the World Series of Golf corporate website, www.worldseriesofgolf.com, and each article will contain links for user comments.
"This is a very exciting time for all of us at World Series of Golf, and we're thrilled to broaden our footprint online with the birth of this blog," says Terry Leiweke, president of World Series of Golf and NCAA football record holder. "In recent years, blogs have become an increasingly important outlet for fans and the media, and we look forward to working with golf players and enthusiasts in creating an exciting, entertaining, and informative space online."
The World Series of Golf combines the wagering format of Texas Hold 'Em with the skill of golf in a patent-pending method of play 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.
