LAS VEGAS, NV–(Marketwire – September 16, 2010) – World Series of Golf, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: WSGF) (OTCQB: WSGF) today announced that the Company has executed a Letter of Agreement (LOA) for a strategic acquisition of The Leiweke Holding Company. This contemplated acquisition is part of World Series of Golf’s expansion plans and updated business plan. This contemplated acquisition includes both gaming and entertainment projects which have previously been identified by World Series of Golf as targeted areas for expansion. This acquisition is expected to close by year-end upon successful completion of terms outlined in the LOA.

The acquisition would add several projects which are in various stages of development to the product offerings of World Series of Golf. These projects include, but are not limited to the following:

• Emerging Artists (“EA”) — A joint development project in association with a major radio operator that would work to identify emerging artists who are encouraged to submit recordings of original music. Those recordings would be available to the listening public who would identify their top choices, with the top artists performing in live concerts which would be aired on television.
