Setanta Sports to Air 2008 World Series of Golf

TUESDAY, 12 AUGUST 2008

LAS VEGAS - World Series of Golf, Inc. (OTCBB: WSGF), a competitive tournament, entertainment, and online enterprise company, has engaged European-based broadcast leader Setanta Sports to air the 2008 World Series of Golf event. Beginning in October, Setanta will feature four separate one-hour segments of the event prior to live broadcasts of PGA Tour events. The agreement marks the company's efforts to broaden its distribution through international media exposure.

The 2008 event will be aired in four separate "runs" during the twelve months following the initial October broadcast. Through repeats, the event will air in its entirety approximately twenty times during this twelve-month period. The World Series of Golf intends to use its land-based event and subsequent syndication as a platform for future international events and leverage the exposure of its patent-pending method of play into a leading global event and online enterprise.

"Bringing the World Series of Golf to international markets is an integral part of our business model," says Terry Leiweke, Chief Executive Officer of World Series of Golf. "This agreement signifies a concerted effort to begin global expansion of our Texas Hold 'Em style of golf competition. Broadcasting our event in Europe through Setanta, a leading sports network with rights to the PGA Tour, will help us bolster our brand recognition and generate further interest in our game. Given the over two million households that watched our U.S. broadcast on CBS, we are confident that Setanta will generate significant interest abroad."
