2010 World Series of Golf
The World series of Golf will be played from May 13- May 17th. The tournament will be played at the beautiful course the Prim Valley Golf Center in Las Vegas. This tournament is compared to the Skins tournament because each shot is critical for success. The precision of each player has to be great because you can win money at each hole. Amateur players will be able to compete in this tournament and can be competing for the $750,000 dollar prize. The tournament will be on national television on channel NBC. The tournament is simple each player just like poker, has to put up money for each hole. The stakes can be really high because if you lose that hole you will lose your money. If the golfer’s tee shot is a good one for the player he can raise his ante, call his ante or fold if it is a poor shot. The wagers on each hole have to be chosen carefully be cause if your confidence goes down you might make crucial mistakes. In this tournament every shot counts because it could be your last shot. When the player that has no chips left he will be eliminated from the tournament. This is a new way at looking at golf. Each shot is as important as putting up the money for your shot it is like you are playing poker or chess. The winner of each group will go onto the next round until he is the last one standing.
There will be a maximum of 180 golfers at this tournament and there will be 3 rounds of golf. The golfer who wins the first prize will win $250,000 and has to defeat 14 other golfers head to head over the 3 rounds. If he does that he will win the money. The registration fee is a scheduled one. The golfer will have to put up $10,000 to buy into the tournament. They can win their registration fee back if they can advance to the second round of the tournament. Each golfer has to go through a strict accreditation process so they can see what handicap they are. As they know their handicap, this will pit them against golfers who are at the same level as them. This tournament is so unique because of the large amount of money they can win, but also because the way they have to play. This tournament is just like playing poker as well as playing chess each move is critical.
