High Stakes Entertainment and The David Leadbetter Golf Academy have teamed up to bring some of poker and golf’s biggest names together for The Legends of Poker & Golf Academy.
This one-of-a-kind event is set for Nov. 3-6 at the Omni Resort at ChampionsGate just south of Orlando. It will be hosted by Poker Hall of Famer members Doyle Brunson and Dewey Tomko, poker superstar Daniel Negreanu, famed poker instructor Mike Caro ‘The Legendary Mad Genius of Poker’, and the World’s Leading Golf Instructor, David Leadbetter.
PGA and Senior PGA Tour golfers on hand include Rocco Mediate, Andy Bean, Mike Hulbert, and Brad Bryant.
The event will feature three days of comprehensive poker and golf instruction, followed by a day of golf and poker tournaments.
“We are excited to have the David Leadbetter Golf Academy host this groundbreaking event and we are proud to be associated with poker legends Doyle Brunson, Dewey Tomko, Daniel Negreanu and Mike Caro” said David Leadbetter, whose school is based at ChampionsGate. “Doyle and Dewey may be most noted for their accomplishments at the poker table, but both have storied and accomplished backgrounds on the golf course which makes them ideal partners for this combined poker and golf endeavor”.
Participants in the The Legends of Poker & Golf Academy will be treated like one of Leadbetter’s visiting tour players and have access to the world-class game improvement staff and facilities of golf’s finest training facility.
Leadbetter and his elite staff will guide students through three days of golf instruction on the expansive range and short game practice facilities. Comprehensive video analysis and club fittings will also be performed in order to maximize results and get students playing better than ever before. There will be opportunities for one-on-one instruction throughout the week and an overall low student to instructor ratio of 5:1 throughout the group sessions. The tour players will also be involved in the instruction process.
“Anyone who knows me, knows that golf has always played a special role in my life – so I’m thrilled to join some of my poker friends and golf guru David Leadbetter for what will be a memorable four days of golf and poker fun in the Florida sun,” said Brunson, the patriarch of modern poker and 10-time WSOP bracelet winner.
Following the afternoon golf sessions and relaxing dinners, participants will settle in for evenings of poker instruction and playing scenarios. Three evenings will be dedicated to intense poker instruction from Caro, the world’s foremost authority on poker strategy, psychology and statistics.
Caro, an accomplished player, pioneer poker theorist, and renowned author, will be joined in these sessions by poker legends Brunson, Tomko and Negreanu who will add their unique perspectives to provide an entertaining and uniquely educational experience for poker enthusiasts.
