Re: PGA Partnership

  Hello Folks.

  I just wonder when and if we will a partnership with the PGA. I mean, we are associated with the USGA and Golf Channel, this year we had the opportunity to play the first link at Valhalla on the PGA circuit and we still have this logo on.

  I wonder if the efforts of WGT are the ones to have the two most important associations of course (and TV coverage) within the next few years. I do not know what could be the advantages but definitely something good might come out.

  Any official response is appreciated.

  David.

  I think that something was done and maybe this tournament will be the first of a series.

  Looks like a start! Last year we got Valhalla CTTH as a bonus, and now it seems that some sort of partnership is ongoing with the PGA Championship.

  WGT, can you say more?

  I don't like the way CTTH courses are characterized as equal to full 18 hole stroke play courses..."Play Championship matches on Pebble Beach, Valhalla..."...I think they are as different as real golf is to putt-putt. Entirely misleading.

  it would be nice to hear from WGT, is it just going to CTTH courses created by this partnership, im not a fan of CTTH courses as it just makes me want to play the full 18 strokeplay, and we cant.

  Hopefully full stroke games at the actual PGA Tournament site will take the place of the Open that they lost the rights to a few years ago.
