  No thanks,Jim.

  Maybe you should start dreaming about TPC at Sawgrass :)

  You can dream all you want but it will never happen. EA Sports owns exclusive rights to not only Sawgrass but all TPC courses and Augusta National as well. 

  And I don't see them giving up those rights any time soon!

  Joe, a recent announcement by EA Sports says they no longer hold the exclusive rights to Augusta:

  "Our license with Augusta National has expired and it does not currently appear in EA Sports Rory McIlroy PGA Tour," reads the statement from EA. "However, we will continue to examine opportunities to include this world-class course in the game."

  ....hmm, I have no idea how the swells at WGT navigate, but I sure know how I do. If I were the WGT CEO, Augusta would be the only item on my plate and regardless of any and all reasons in the way of obtainment I would ignore them all...we would get Augusta. I go deaf to the word no if I want something. It is the difference between attitudes...most all people settle for less, a few settle for more.  ~ SP ~

  That is great news. Let's hope WGT goes for the Augusta and creates the virtual Masters.

  Everyone here is very aware of the breakup between EA and Augusta..... Likelyhood of anything happening is very very very slim though.  Sorry to say because I would of been paying for my own plane fare to go down to "help" photograph the course.

  Not the answer we would like, the honest and you earn (have) my respect DB.

  But I too would volunteer to help with the photography.......would need to shoot from ground level though and map the greens with a putter in hand of course.

  I could even hide a golden egg or the like lol
