MediaBuyerPlanner: Van Wagner Sports Group, LLC, will be handling integrated media and sponsorship sales for a new event, The World Series of Golf, teeing off in Las Vegas in May.
The event will give amateur players the opportunity to compete for $750,000 in prize money on NBC national television.
The competition allows for high stakes to ride on each and every shot of the tournament. Similar to poker, players must ante up before teeing off at each hole. Depending on the outcome of the tee shots, the player can then raise, call, check or fold on subsequent shots, with the winner of the hole collecting the pot.
When a player no longer has any chips to ante up, that player is eliminated.
The Mirage Hotel & Casino is the first Las Vegas resort to partner with the event, which is scheduled to be televised nationally on NBC on Saturday, June 23 and Sunday, June 24.
Players can register at www.worldseriesofgolfinc.com.
