Confirmed that it will be in October hosted by Poulter on the Marquess at Woburn
 
So where will Lee Westwood choose, his roots are from Worksop so will he try and keep it in his native Nottingham area or would he choose Close House?

Justin will obviously (I assume) choose North Hants but Luke also doesn't have a hard fast sizeable UK club association (I don't think) as he was a junior at Hazlemere and Beaconsfield Golf Clubs, so where would he choose? Maybe being from Hemel he could approach the Centurion Club :thup:

No chance it goes to North Hants, its too short. despite their histories, i doubt it will be played anywhere (down south) other than Woburn, St Mellion and maybe Walton Heath.

not sure of the courses further north, but they need to be way over 7000yds and have a history of holding events - maybe Notts?
 
I like this statement, its far from what we would have ever read, experienced or seen attempted by the BBC, it shows to me that Sky is and should be the first choice for golf coverage with what it can and is willing to do to showcase the sport to potential new fans through all the different platforms available to everyone out there now.

Sky Sports will help encourage interest in golf through its coverage of the British Masters including programming aimed at new fans across TV, online, digital media and social media outlets. Three-time European Tour winner Nick Dougherty has agreed to become an Ambassador for Sky Academy, a role which includes taking part in Sky Sports Living for Sport, part of Sky Academy, which uses sports stars and sports skills to help young people gain skills and self-belief.

Wherever it goes, this is great news.

Sky supporting this venture!! Who still thinks they are ruining golf by having TV rights from free to air TV??

Well at least it is something where Nick Dougherty won't have to worry about "the cut".

Sorry but cannot share the love for Sky's coverage which, for events outside the UK relies upon local host broadcasters for the pictures and has, probably, the most annoying bunch of commentators and analysts anywhere.

They have started doing their own commentary now.

Commentary yes; but pictures still locally controlled and, therefore, many of the breaks. Not their fault I know except I pay rather a lot of money for Sky and yet still have to tolerate incessant adverts.

Valid point. Personally i'd rather the adverts than listen to Peter Allis. comfortably the world least knowledgeable (in terms of the modern game) commentator.

This aside, the Marquess is a fantastic golf course and will be perfect for an event. really excited about this
 
This isn't about who holds the mike or where the camera points. It's about Sky stumping up money to help have a tournament on these shores..........where there was a grand total of 1 previously.

Can't see a negative to this news

I share your enthusiasm for the event and will almost certainly attend.

However, whilst Peter Alliss may have exceeded his shelf life Messrs Roe, Lee, Holmes, Montgomerie & Critchley should never have been "put on the shelf" in the first place.

Just imagine how much you would have to pay without the advertising.

This is a good thing for the game regardless of who broadcasts it, any broadcast is better than no broadcast.
I am also 100% that the BBC would not divert any of their "reality TV" budget to support this event.
