ORLANDO, Fla., (Aug. 24, 2009) – Golfweek – the most authentic, authoritative and independent name in golf – today launched a complete redesign of its popular Web site, Golfweek.com.

• GolfweekTV – Complete with original programming and expert commentary, GolfweekTV now offers a bigger video player, expanded programming and dynamic new features, all in high definition.
• TheGolfBoards.com (powered by Golfweek) – Golfweek.com’s popular discussion boards move to TheGolfBoards.com, where users can voice their opinions and discuss all things golf.
• Staff and Reader Blogs – Favorite Golfweek blogs (and several new ones) have been upgraded to Web 2.0 standards, allowing users to keep tabs on the site’s most popular content.
• Search Engine Optimization – News and articles are now easier than ever to find in Golfweek.com’s newly improved search feature and are also more accessible through your favorite search engines.
“We couldn’t be more thrilled about the Golfweek.com redesign,” said Clayton Morris, president/publisher of Golfweek. “The new site not only continues to deliver the same great content that our audience of serious golfers demands, but also capitalizes on the latest trends and technologies, allowing Golfweek to further diversify its many offerings and expand its overall reach.”
