Play Golf and Poker for cash at the PokerStars Fairways and Felts event
Poker players love to play golf, and now you can join PokerStarsfor an exclusive tournament that brings both sports together as one! The Fairways and Felts event takes place September 1-2 and is being held as part of the European Poker Tour (EPT) Vilamoura festival. It’s a brand new format where players buy-in or win a €1,100 golf/poker prize package (€770 + €70 for the poker, €260 for the golf) and battle it out over two days of action on the fairways and then at the poker tables.
Day 1 takes place September 1 and will see all players who enter split into teams and compete against each other on the golf course in a Texas Scramble team event. At the end of the day, each team’s combined points tally will decide their starting stack in the poker tournament on Day 2. The poker tournament will see players compete individually for their share of the prize pool, plus the bragging rights that come with being crowned the first-ever EPT Golf Poker Champions!
The golf side of the event takes place at the beautiful Pinhal Course in Vilamoura, owned and operated by the Oceanic Golf Company. The action then moves inside for the No Limit Hold’em poker tournament, played out at the luxurious Casino Vilamoura - the same venue where the EPT Main Event will be taking place. In addition to their buy-in to the golf event and poker tournament, all players that enter will also get free transport between the golf course and casino, a PokerStars goody bag, food, and an invitation to the prize ceremony hosted by Team PokerStars Pro and two-time World Series bracelet winner JP Kelly - a keen golfer himself.
It’s the perfect way to combine the thrill of big money poker at the felt with a day relaxing on the greens, and a chance to make your trip to Vilamoura one to remember.
