  Would it be possible to have Doral or Muirfield or even Pebble Beach as new courses on an 18 hole format or some of the other courses you have in your ongoing setup as it does become rather tedious playing stroke or match play on the same course all the time. By the way its a good system you have and im not knocking it.

  Pebble Beach is showing 2019 date, but Oakmont is already here and showing 2016. Congressional is coming soon.

  I believe Oakmont was added because it was the site of the 2010 women's US Open. I'd love to see either of the courses mentioned above, but I don't see it happening anytime soon :(

  As has been said, Pebble Beach will come in 2019 - hang in there, only 8 more years!

  I agree that Muirfield would be a wonderful addition to WGT - it's a beautiful course with some of the best Par 5s around. Given WGT's long-term collaboration with USGA and R&A it remains to be seen whether they will add any full stroke play courses other than those hosting the US Open and The Open.

  Wish I could say I believe in the long-term cooperation with the R&A. Last year when they did the virtual Open, the announcements did not betray anything more than that it was connected with the 150th Open. There are independent reports of filming having been done for WGT at Royal St. George's, but no hint from WGT or the R&A themselves that we might actually get that course or, later, the other ones in the Open rotation, such as Muirfield. We shall see!
