Las Vegas will play host to a series of putting tournaments for amateurs called the Major Series of Putting with millions in tournament prizes next March.

The company behind the event, Lune Rouge Innovation, backed by Canadian billionaire Guy Laliberte announced the plans on Thursday. The putting championship will take place at a 20,000-foot 18-hole course designed by Nicklaus Design near the Vegas strip.

The event will offer a wide variety of putting tournaments. The schedule currently includes singles and team events in stroke play and match play with exclusive events for women, amateurs and professional golfers. Additional tournaments will be announced soon. There will be big money prizes as well, with the biggest coming in a stroke play championship with a $5,000 entry fee for an $825,000 payout, according to the MSOP website.

“MSOP is setting the stage for golfers from all walks of life to experience the intensity and excitement you’ll only reach when you sink that final putt for the win,” said Brad Faxon, a two-time member of the U.S. Ryder Cup Team who is serving as an advisor to to the Major Series of Putting. “Everyone has a shot at glory. All that is needed is a putter, a ball, skills and ice in the veins.”

The venue will fit right in in the bright lights of Vegas, equipped with grandstand seating, live scoring, big screens, a pro shop, sports bar and more.

      Yikes! Colin Morikawa withdraws on 11th tee after the practice swing made his lower back twinge.

      Short Game Chef (Parker McLachlin) Short Game Videos

      My flop shots are 6-7° down (AoA). Does that answer it? 😄  The longer answer is… You have to be able to do both shots.

      Short Game Chef (Parker McLachlin) Short Game Videos

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I hope you don't mind me raising this one from the dead. I got shortgamechef's video access thing for a few months in 2024. I watched his yip fix videos (the general gist is similar to the first video above, but with a lot more detail) and it made a lot of sense. I was working on it in my backyard off a mat for a while and my yippy thing was mostly gone. Aside from anything else, the flop shot using that technique is so easy and controllable. But I got onto a golf course for the first time of the year and found myself by the green on a downslope with the ball sitting down a little in the rough and I was, not to put too fine a point on it, f***ed. Shallow is all well and good from a good flat lie and I understand it, but you can't make that your be all and end all. I still don't know if it's a good idea to use steep all the time or just when you need to. I have a hard enough time with one technique, let alone too.  Just got a pitching skillest lesson with Erik and unless I misunderstood things some, he wants me a bit steeper. @iacas - where do you fall on the steep vs shallow argument and how do you vary it according to need?
