  Well we got a new CTTH course, Valhalla. Looks nice and all but should really stop spending money on that and give us a few full courses instead.

  I agree, we have enough CTTH courses - I certainly will not bother to play it.

  That said it will please many.

  This is a result of a new partnership with the P.G.A of America. We know that it takes 6 months to complete a full 18 hole course. Maybe this happened so quickly that they had to do it as a CTTH course to get it on here in time for the PGA. 

  does this mean we will be getting a ctth every year or will it be an 18 hole strokeplay next year? any comment wgt?

  Having played Valhalla a few times in real life,  it would be a great addition if it were to be a full stroke play course.  Great layout with a lot of options on your tee shots,  the greens have multiple tiers to allow for great pin placements.  Long and short Par 3's and split fairway on one par 5.  It is in my home state so wishful thinking on my part to want this course as stroke play.

  This Jack Nicklaus design has some great history with the PGA returning for its second time,  The Senior PGA Championship and the Ryder Cup.  It would be another star in the WGT crown if made a stroke play course imo.

  Enough with the CTTH as it does very little to excite me.   Playing CTTH one time in a month is one time too much imo.  To each his own I guess.

  They have also removed the upcoming courses under the explore courses so they are not stuck to their own timeline on the release dates or which ones will or won't be released

  First we get the Pebble Beach announcement, now we get a CTTH on Valhalla and the association with the PGA.  Does this mean the exclusivity contract between the PGA Tour and Tiger Woods PGA Tour EA Sports game has expired?

  Both Pebble and Valhalla are part of TW PGA Tour.  Does this open the gates for WGT access to all the TPC courses like Sawgrass?

  Any comment WGT?

  Also, I found this going through the electronic PGA Championship Program. Click on the photo below.  I see a little extra WGT involvement in this:

  

  Looks like there will be 4 pins on the 16th hole.
