SeabrookFlash:Personally, I feel that this is a great means of exposure for WGT and maybe, just maybe will encourage some people like the folks at Augusta National or Pebble Beach or somewhere else to take another look at WGT as a means to reach more golfers.........
No doubt it will bring more visitors to both web sites!
And it appears both sites can use a boost at this time of year.....
Site Analytics Compete.com data for WGT Site Analytics Compete.com data for GC
From what I've read, The Golf Channel is primarily broadcast to the US and Canadian markets. It is not our prime golfing season overall with the exception of Florida, the Southwest and West Coast.
It will be interesting to see the January, February data and whether both sites benefit from this partnership. Although I see the WGT interface on the Golf Channel site has changed since we first saw it. It now requires the Golf Channel visitor to register at WGT.com in order to play through the GC website. I'm thinking that's not a good move as non registered players can play as a guest when visiting the WGT web site, then decide to register or not.
