Put Vegas and Golf together and the poker analogies run wild... 

Similar to the World Series of Poker, HighRoller Magazine has announced it's first annual World Series of Golf for the amateur player. Any golfer of any ability, that is willing to pay the $10,000 "buy-in", has a chance to win a $250,000 Grand Prize. There will be a total of $750,000 in prizes. Apparently, the format for the event is patent pending, combining elements of golf and poker. It goes a little something like this...Players ante on each tee.  The ante is followed by a pass, bet or fold on each golf shot.  When a player is out of money, they are out of the hole and out of the tournament. 

HighRoller Magazine has joined forces with Mirage Las Vegas and the tournament will be held at Primm Valley GC, Mirage's VIP golf course designed by Tom Fazio. The event will be aired live on NBC Sports in May 2007. HighRoller Magazine will provide the WSOG build-up in their upcoming issues and will also provide features on tournament entrants.
