  There have been no new avatars for almost(?) a year now. You may want to try out "Whitey" from the Elite section (just kidding).

  And, Spain has been at #13 counting Legends and TLs in July - there are others (including my country at #6) with a higher potential to buy their nation's avatar.

  I agree with you Cesar.

  To me is not relevant the number of Legend or TL players in WGT to have an avatar of an specific country.

  I would be more than happy to buy an spanish avatar, or even more a Seve Ballesteros avatar (blue and white).

  WGT must be aware that even the European Ryder Team decided to wear those Seve colours in 2012 in the last Ryder Cup edition to conquer the Cup.

  I am sure that MANY european WGT players will buy a Seve avatar,

  and also an spanish avatar by spanish players.

  @Alosso, I think there should be a german avatar as well. There are also very important german players in the real world and in WGT

  While the number of countries in the world is not constant, 196 countries is the often quoted number these days.

  The UN has 193 member countries.

  Do you really think it's more than a romantic dream to have a Spanish avatar?

  Excuse me, I'm not in any way romantic in this regard. I was thinking WGT business with my reply. They will for sure not consider the number of prominent players (which is meager in Germany BTW, three men in the top tours only, and one woman), they will think in revenue.

  The no. of Ls and TLs per nation is just a hint to a probable relative population of players here, and this determines the return of the investment in developping avatars.

  Thinking this way, the top nations have one or more avatars (numbers from July):

  USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Italy.
  Ireland has one, Germany not, though the numbers were 161 vs. 183.

  Spain is only 13th, after NL, F, DK, S, New Zealand. Their number was 69, less than half of Ireland. To me it means less than half the players, less than half expected revenue.

  You're welcome to dream on, but - please - don't expect a positive result, don't even hope for it. IMHO, there is no hope in this virtual world.

  Alosso,

  I am not just thining in romantic way. I am also thinking in profitability.

  I am sure that Seve and spanish avatars would be bought by many WGT players.You can see that in siggipj76's answer. And there will be many more like him.

  And I don't think that creating more avatars should be so expensive.

  So I think that asking for it is not so strange.

  And finally, Is it forbidden to dream in WGT?

  Take care
