Fantasy Sports Showdown Returns with Championship Event

ATLANTA, Oct. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — PrizePicks, the largest daily fantasy sports operator in North America, today revealed a star-studded lineup for the second annual PrizePicks World Championship. The event will feature Stephen A. Smith of “The Stephen A. Smith Show,” along with celebrity competitors including Druski, Sean O’Malley and defending champion, Kyle Forgeard. All will be battling it out in a live showdown in Atlanta on November 17th to see who will reign supreme as the champion of the daily fantasy sports world.

“The PrizePicks World Championship is going to be insane,” said Suga’ Sean O’Malley. “It’s giving fans a once in a lifetime opportunity to not just play with their favorite but to be with them in ATL watching the games play out.”

The PrizePicks World Championship is a single-day, winner-takes-all competition to test the daily fantasy skills of the biggest names in sports and entertainment. Players will compete to build the best 6-Pick Flex lineups for professional football games across the Sunday, November 17th slate, with the goal of racking up the highest payout. The team that tallies the highest total will be crowned the champion of the daily fantasy sports world and will win a $100,000 grand prize and receive a free lineup with an opportunity to win $1 million the following week.

Defending champion, Kyle Forgeard said, “I’m excited to put my title on the line and compete once again for glory. This is all business and I’m coming for the top spot again this year.”

To have the fans get a shot to ride with my picks adds to the pressure because I want everyone to win, but when the time comes, I’m confident I’m going 6 for 6. Always more, never less!”
