Description

MSOP Part 1 https://uploads.fireside.fm/images/1/1ea879c1-a4a2-4e10-bea4-e5d8368a3c7a/M4KuLNld.jpg

The Major Series of Putting (MSOP) 2017 inaugural season staged over 200 local North American local qualifiers, culminating with the 10 day Las Vegas Championships.
MSOP entertains, challenges and thrills people with the simplest and most important golf element – Putting. To achieve such, MSOP sanctioned the largest series of putting tournaments in history with millions of dollars in total prize money. In fabulous Las Vegas, MSOP built a temporary stadium one block off of the famous Strip, adjacent to Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. Participants from all walks of life had the opportunity to test their skills - and nerves - as they competed over several days in high-stakes championship putting tournaments on a 20,000 square foot putting surface created by world-leading Nicklaus Design and fabricated/installed by Southwest Greens. The fun was open to all as qualifying events were held around North America in collaboration with local golf courses.
MSOP is a subsidiary of Lune Rouge Innovation, a new creative company inspired and controlled by Cirque du Soleil Founder Guy Laliberté. For more information, visit www.MSOP.com.
