An interesting event called the World Series of Golf is shaping up for next year at the Primm Valley Golf Club. The event will combine the skill of golf with the wagering savvy of poker, all while giving amateur golfers an opportunity to compete for $750,000 in prize money next June on NBC. Registration already has begun for 180 amateur players, who will have to pony up $10,000 each (which does include a VIP weekend stay at The Mirage) to participate. The World Series of Golf is a completely new way to experience the game of golf. It demands skill on the links, betting savvy and nerves of steel, said Terry Leiweke, president of the World Series of Golf. “For any golfer who had ever said. ‘I’d bet anything that I can make this shot,’ now is his/her chance to prove it.”
