FLW presser moved from Atlanta
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
FLW Outdoors’ plan to announce the $1 million winner its FLW Fantasy Fishing contest this week in Atlanta has been changed.
The Thursday press conference, originally scheduled for Centennial Olympic Park, will now be held the same day in Columbia, S.C., which hosted last weekend’s Forrest Wood Cup.
Citing Tropical Storm Fay’s potential impact on Atlanta and the community support during last week’s tournament, FLW decided the last-minute venue change was needed.
The $1 million being awarded in the fantasy fishing conest is the largest payoff in fantasy sports.
