LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwire - August 19, 2010) - World Series of Golf®, Inc. (
Incoming CEO Patrick Brown
"Everyone involved in the updated and expanded World Series of Golf® business plan has been working hard since the April announcement, and I could not be more enthusiastic or optimistic about the Company's prospects from here forward. The vision of Company founder John Slitz and the steady management hand of Joe Martinez, the CEO I am succeeding, have withstood the challenges of an economic environment less than conducive to introducing a new business idea. I look forward to working with them both in their continued role with the Company. World Series of Golf® has patent protected intellectual property, a recognized brand name, and an existing agreement to acquire complementary assets that will expand the Company's potential. Learn more about our plans with Rounder Magazine and a November Golf Tournament in Las Vegas when I provide an overview of the Company's updated and expanded business plan in a Webcast scheduled to be released next Friday, August 27th," stated incoming CEO Patrick Brown.
Update and Expansion Architect Joe Martinez
"Patrick Brown is a welcome addition to the World Series of Golf® team and the right person to execute on the updated and expanded plan. I will continue to concentrate my efforts on the existing World Series of Golf® business and look for Patrick to continue the work he has already initiated in bringing complementary new resources to the company. I want to mention a special thanks to Philip Verges and his Small Equity Initiative that empowered the opportunity to reinvent the World Series of Golf®," stated Joe Martinez.
Patrick Brown brings a strong background to his role with World Series of Golf, mixing an entrepreneurial background in online and gaming entities with his equally valuable experience in the Fortune 500 environment. He previously helped lead a micro cap company in the development and launch of an online wagering product, and handled the day to day operations, leading to the eventual sale of the operations to a friendly competitor. He has also developed innovative wagering opportunities, which included a US patent filing for a wagering method of play. Recognized as industry leader, he has been sought out as a presenter and moderator at a wide range of industry events, including an international mobile gaming conference. Mr. Brown earned his undergraduate degree in business management from Xavier University and a law degree from University of Cincinnati.
