In the bowling world, all eyes are on Brooklyn Park.<\/p>\n

The Professional Bowler\u2019s Association (PBA<\/a>) is hosting the World Series of Bowling in Brooklyn Park this year, bringing the sport\u2019s top competitors to town hoping for a perfect game.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of points, there\u2019s a lot of titles, there\u2019s a lot of money,\u201d said three-time champion EJ Tackett. \u201cThis is the biggest two weeks of the year for us every single season.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tackett, who is widely considered to be the PBA\u2019s top bowler, aims to defend his title at Bowlero in Brooklyn Park.<\/p>\n

Tackett, who is widely considered to be the Professional Bowler\u2019s Association\u2019s top bowler, aims to defend his title at Bowlero in Brooklyn Park.<\/p>\n

The venue is hosting about 120 of the best bowlers in the world. They\u2019re competing for a $100,000 top prize, along with bragging rights.<\/p>\n

One of the bowlers is making his return to the Twin Cities. Nick Pate grew up in Inver Grove Heights but moved to Florida about two years ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cI drove up from Mertle Beach,\u201d Pate said. \u201cIt\u2019s about a 20-hour drive. I split it up over two days and the second day, I was just like, \u2018wow,\u2019 I\u2019m actually excited to come back to Minnesota and bowl in a PBA event, because there\u2019s only been since I\u2019ve lived here two, and they were regionals which are below what we\u2019re bowling now. So there\u2019s a lot of excitement.\u201d<\/p>\n

The World Series of Bowling takes place in Brooklyn Park through May 6, then heads to another bowling alley in Lakeville.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bowling fans can watch the event in person or can stream it on CBS.<\/p>\n
