Bowlero Elite Series Coming to New Jersey

The Bowlero Elite Series is excited to announce that applications are now being accepted for its September tournament at Bowlero North Brunswick in New Jersey. Only Bowlero Corp League Bowlers are eligible to apply for a chance to compete against the world's top professional bowlers for a total prize pool of over $250,000.

The September tournament will be another landmark moment for competitive bowling and will feature 16 elite bowlers—eight professionals and eight amateurs—competing in a single-elimination bracket format. First and second place prizes of more than $100,000 and $65,000, respectively, are on the line.

In its inaugural tournament at Bowlero Romeoville in April, the Elite Series made history when Bowlero Corp League Bowler Luis Gonzalez of Chicago, Ill., defeated three-time PBA Tour Champion Kyle Troup of Taylorsville, N.C., 237-226 in the championship match. With the win, Gonzalez took home a life-changing $270,000, while Troup took home $80,000, the single biggest payday of his career.

The competition doesn't end there. As finalists in their respective Amateur and Pro brackets, Gonzalez and Troup have been invited to the Bowlero Elite Series December tournament in Jupiter, Fla. They will be joined by the finalists of the September tournament and other elite bowlers as they compete for the largest BES prize pool yet.

"The Bowlero Elite Series is an incredible opportunity for our league bowlers and pros alike," said Colie Edison, Chief Customer Officer of Bowlero Corp and President of the Bowlero Elite Series. "Seeing Luis win in April exceeded all our expectations, and we can't wait to see the new talent that will compete in our September event. Anything can happen!"

The Bowlero Elite Series returns to NBCSN on Wednesday, September 11, at 7 p.m. ET. The final tournament will be broadcast on Saturday, December 28, at 3 p.m. ET on NBC. More than $1 million in prize money will be awarded across all three Bowlero Elite Series events this year.
