The Full Tilt Poker.net World Series of Golf Signs Multi-year Deal With CBS Sports: Annual Sports Event Returns to National TV, June 28 and 29

LAS VEGAS, May 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Described as the most innovative golf event since the Skins Game, The Full Tilt Poker.net World Series of Golf(R) (BULLETIN BOARD: WSGF) , has engaged in a multi-year domestic U.S. broadcast partnership with network television's sports leader, CBS Sports. The 2008 World Series of Golf is set to air June 28 and 29, 2008.

A television sports special presentation that features all the thrill of golf with the intrigue of a reality program, the World Series of Golf features up to 125 amateur players competing for a top prize of $250,000 in an innovative golf format that combines the skill of golf with the betting savvy of Texas Hold 'Em Poker.

"The World Series of Golf is about the characters in the game, and our television broadcast will highlight this unique group of personalities," said Terry Leiweke, president of the World Series of Golf. "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 20-foot putt with some real money on the line."

Played in a patent-pending method of play, The Full Tilt Poker.net World Series of Golf 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. The result is a dramatic competition in which every shot counts, and betting strategy is just as important as skill. As in poker, when a player no longer has any chips to ante up, that player is eliminated. The winner of each group moves onto the next round until the final group yields the golfer who is crowned the champion of the World Series of Golf. The event will be played May 12 - 15 at the Paiute Golf Resort in Las Vegas, NV.

This year's telecast is scheduled to air June 28 and 29 on CBS Sports. Check local listings for broadcast times and details.
