The PUMA Open brings "golf with an attitude" to Rhodes Ranch Golf Club in Las Vegas!

What: Sportlifestyle brand PUMA is bringing their unique take on the game of golf to Las Vegas, NV with The PUMA Open, a non-traditional golf event where teams of four compete in a game of nine-hole scramble that's meant to test not only your golf skills, but also your wit. After a round of golf played the PUMA way, participants will continue their adventure and go "all in" through a series of Vegas-style card games. Dinner, beverages and snacks are provided throughout the afternoon. PUMA athlete and LPGA Tour Pro Erica Blasberg also plans to attend and provide pointers, laughs, and advice for golfers throughout the day.

The PUMA Open is a national series of interactive golf events that shake up the tradition-minded sport in a way that truly embodies the inclusive spirit of PUMA Golf. The PUMA Open is visiting 15 cities this year, including this inaugural stop in Las Vegas, and was created by PUMA in 2007.

Registration fee is $300 per foursome and is open to men and women 21 and older. To register, or for more information, please visit www.thepumaopen.com.

Why: Created as a way to add a bit of color and fun to the game of golf, The PUMA Open is for everyone and it's all about having fun. The PUMA Open also provides an opportunity to view the fashion forward, yet technically advanced PUMA Golf gear.
