"Every weekend golfers at courses across America are placing bets on their golf games, but not for this kind of money," says Joe Kreder, the President of High Stakes Entertainment. "The High Stakes Entertainment Golf Tour showcases some of the biggest names in poker, playing a brand of golf that the viewers will be able to relate except for the amount of the wagers. The program will also provide our viewers with an insight into this high stakes lifestyle that exists around the world."

The HSE Golf Tour is a unique television experience that aligns the ever- increasing popularity of reality television, combined with a very unique game of golf.

"I've always wanted to bring together a group of people that represent the high stakes gambling lifestyle," says Dewey Tomko. "What better way to involve my love of gambling with my love for golf than combining both on national television?"

The first event will feature nine players, each wagering One Million Dollars of their own money to compete in a nine hole team scramble played according to the "Dewey Tomko's Gamblers' Rules of Golf". The inaugural "Doyle Brunson and Dewey Tomko Invitational Event" is scheduled to premiere on ESPN this Sunday, October 21st from 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm EDST.

The competition will continue the following Sunday, October 28, 2007 on ESPN in the same time period. The second event on the High Stakes Entertainment Golf Tour will add nine additional players, including Phil Ivey and Janet Jones Gretzky playing in a "Two Person Team Best Ball" match.
