World Series of Golf Premiers on June 28th
Full Tilt Poker has combined two of America's favorite past times with the creation of the Full Tilt Poker World Series of Golf. This event is going to be teeing off on the CBS television network on June 28th and 29th with the national broadcast of it's second annual tournament.
This is going to be a television sports special presentation that will feature all the action of golf with a twist. The two one hour episodes will follow the field of eighty amateur golfers as they come to Las Vegas to compete for a first place $250,000 dollar cash prize.
“The World Series of Golf is about the personalities in the game, and our television broadcast focuses on an incredibly unique group of individuals,” said Terry Leiweke, president of the World Series of Golf and NCAA football record holder. “The players in our event are golfers that any average guy can relate to. They talk trash, they love to gamble, and on any given day, they could drain a twenty-foot putt with some real money on the line.”
The World Series of Golf will combine the wagering of Texas Hold'em with the skill of golf in a format that allows for high stakes action at each gold hole. Players will ante up at each tee then from there players can bet, raise, call, check or fold on each shot.
