Road to Paris: $1M purse, Olympic bids, massive points -- a full preview of the World Championships

The field for the 2023 Beach Pro Tour World Championships has been set! With Wednesday’s drawing of the lots, all 48 teams per gender have been placed into their respective pools. There are some good draws, some bad draws – and huge opportunities all around. On this episode of The Road to Paris, Travis Mewhirter breaks down the World Championships field, including:

• Tri Bourne and Chaim Schalk getting put in the pool of death
• Alix Klineman and Hailey Harward’s massive opportunity
• Betsi Flint and Julia Scoles with the chance to jump into the top 10 of this Olympic race
• How Andy Benesh and Miles Partain can cement themselves as the top USA team

And much more.
