Victoria Steals Again

[Seanason]

SOUTH Australia has surrendered its $850,000 Nationwide Tour golf tournament to Victoria.

The event - previously known as the Jacob's Creek Open - will be staged on the Peter Thomson-designed Moonah Links layout, south-east of Melbourne, from February 21-24 next year.

It will continue to be co-sanctioned by the PGA Tour of Australasia and the US Nationwide Tour and has been pencilled in on the U.S. secondary circuit for the next three years.

Australasian Tour PGA boss Ben Sellenger said the event provided an international opportunity to the next generation of Australian golfers.

"We are delighted to be building upon what has been a highly successful relationship with the U.S. Nationwide Tour and at the same time enhancing our early season playing schedule," Sellenger said.

Australians have featured strongly this season on the Nationwide Tour in the U.S.

Former US Amateur champion Nick Flanagan has posted back-to-back victories while 19-year-old Queenslander Jason Day became the youngest victor in US Tour history by winning on the circuit.

The new, as yet unnamed event will follow the co-sanctioned New Zealand PGA Championship from February 14-17.

Jacob's Creek, which had sponsored the tournament since 2002, has withdrawn its support.

Hey, I wouldn't mind seeing the SANFL Grand Final. We should make a play for that because Victoria is such a sport loving place.

 

[raikkonen]

Meh. Its only golf.

Who would PAY to watch golf?? Playing is s much better, even that gets boring though.

I can't talk footy all year. The day the Grand Prix was stolen I was distraught.

If i ever become premier one of the first things I would do is try and get the Grand Prix back.

Did anyone go?

Did anyone go to the Grand Prix?

These events go because no-one turns up

Did anyone go, the last day of the Grand Prix here saw a world record of over 250k for one day, until it was beaten years later at Indianapolis where nearly 400k attended.
Something Adelaide does well is attend it's premier events.

Something Melbourne cann't even get close too.

So golf isnt a premier event?

( I knew using the Grand Prix would bite me , more asking Peckers if he went)

Grand final, melbourne cup, A-league final. All pretty good. More people would have gone to the A-league final if it was at the MCG im told.

I have plenty of friends who aren't Victory members who couldn't go to the A League final and they were trying to get their tickets on the morning they went on sale to the public. I was there though.

yeah but Victoria has a population three times that of South Australia.

 

[Blue Red and Gold]

spewing it is going, but Adelaide will be hosting the Eisenhower trophy, the biggest amatuer event in the world I belive. I think its a team event, its going to be played at Grange and Royal Adelaide.

 

[maccas_no1]

And about ten times more appeal

 

[amer]

And about ten times more appeal

Why do you actually support the Crows?

 

[ThePeckers]

And about ten times more appeal

Can't say I find Melbourne too appealing. If anywhere was appealing I'd say Perth & Brisbane. But I am very happy with Adelaide with our wikid as Tram WOO.

Must have been a typo, im sure he mean to say ten times more Smog.
