  I'm just curious..

  I would willingly trade both perspective new courses next year (Merion and Muirifield) for Augusta and zee Masters(ala Seve)..

  Yeah, I know there's another thread about Augusta, and yeah I know it's unlikely that WGT will incorporate Augusta into their lineup in 2013, but I'm just curious if wgt players would be willing to trade 2 for 1...ie, both Opens, for the opportunity to play Augusta every day....

  Maybe Wgt should consider this option for 2014..?

  As much as I;d like t see Augusta Id rather  see two courses instead of one.

  I think MrWGT responded in the petition thread about Augusta and whom to email?

  Sawgrass is a great track, but I'd take Augusta anyday over it..

  As for TWO, it has both Augusta and Sawgrass, but I prefer to play WGT for the graphix and the physix..

  I think I read somewhere that Augusta is under an EA Sports Contract until like 2018. Meaning only EA can use the course. Key word was "Think", im not 100% positive.

  unfortunately augusta is off limits, i imagine there would be alot involved with adding this course.

  plus ea have got the rights to it as it is plasterd all over there new games and proudly advertise the fact tigerwoods augusta.

  i used to play tiger myself which i found a very easy game. plenty of courses but not as good as wgt.

  as for 2open courses a year, yes we have oylmpic but still not heard about another course being added for this year yet just a tru golf course like cabo and whistler :(

  I've been searching about, but I have yet to find anything which definitely says that EA has the exclusive rights to Augusta..
