Online Golf Game for Charity

Wednesday 23rd of May 2007 03:00:31 AM

World Golf Tour, a company that creates simulated golf games for the web that allow players to play on some of the world's most famous golf courses, and PGA.com have teamed up to raise money for the following charities: Teach For America, Sheltering Arms and After-School All-Stars. A Beta version of the new World Golf Tour game will be featured on PGA.com as part of their Charity Challenge. Sponsors including Golfnow.com, TaylorMade-adidas Golf, and Mandalay Golf will be donating daily prizes to those competing.

Prizes include Polo Shirts, golf clubs, trips to Las Vegas and Hawaii, and the chance to play at some of the best courses in the US. “Everyone at World Golf Tour feels privileged to connect such generous sponsors with top educational charities through this tournament. We’re excited to give people an early taste of the World Golf Tour golf experience. Our aim is to make golf accessible and rewarding for all, and with this Beta event, we are running an online charitable golf tournament on a scale never seen before,” said YuChiang Cheng, CEO of World Golf Tour.

PGA.com will feature the Beta version of the 2008 World Golf Tour Version 1 edition, which is a way for people to not only help raise money for charity, but also preview the new game. “World Golf Tour allows viewers to use the same TaylorMade clubs that are #1 on tour and used by Sergio Garcia, Retief Goosen, John Daly, Natalie Gulbis and many more. World Golf Tour’s virtual golf game lets golfers hit the best performance golf products while playing some of the best courses in the world," said Bob Maggiore, Senior Director of Brand Marketing of TaylorMade-adidas Golf.

The PGA.com Charity Challenge will be ongoing for one month and will be giving away 10 prizes each day.
