Lake Tahoe isn't holding the event likely because they didn't bid for it. It's not like there's a long list of clubs beating down the PDGA's door to host worlds, if they only get one bid that's where it's going to be.

Without any knowledge of the bids, I can almost bet that there were not many bids for pro worlds.

I fixed the post. You left out one word.

Shouldn't a 'Worlds' championship occassionaly occur outside of the US?

That idea has been discussed. The PDGA even conducted a poll a few years ago asking "If worlds were in Europe, would you go?" and the overwhelming majority said no.

It's not a cost effective decision for the PDGA to do that at this time. But it certainly has been entertained.

Soooooo whats the real reason nobody wants to step up and host Worlds?

Losing money - Pro Worlds

Well said Chuck.

Am Worlds is a cash cow for the person/persons running the event
because of the "am scam"

Pro Worlds is a different world. One in which you must raise money and
sponsors in order to pay the players. Totally opposite sides of the coin.
