An innovative Las Vegas event may have punters puzzling over whether they're teeing off or going all in as it combines the skills of golf and poker.
The World Series Of Golf will be played at Las Vegas' Paiute Golf Resort from May 12th to 15th.
Participants must use the physical skills of golf combined with the betting savvy of a poker pro to triumph in the tournament.
Using the betting etiquette of Texas Hold'em poker, players must ante up before teeing off at each hole.
After seeing the outcome of the tee shots, players can raise, call, check or fold on subsequent shots, with the pot going to the winning player and those with no more chips eliminated along the way.
"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 series.
"For any golfer who has ever said 'I'd bet anything that I can make this shot', now is his chance to prove it," he said.
As many as 125 amateur players can take part in the competition for a chance to compete for the first prize of $250,000 on TV.
