New Digital Media Network to Focus on International Golf News
SINGAPORE (July 13, 2010): Two of golf’s most respected media brands – Golfweek and Asian Golf Monthly – have launched their latest joint venture: Golf360, a comprehensive digital media network designed to bring global golf to the forefront and recognize the sport’s borderless reach.
Making its debut in conjunction with this week’s Open Championship in Scotland, Golf360 is a one-stop shop for international golf news, delivering the world’s latest headlines from a geo-targeted, global vantage point.
Singapore-based Mike Sebastian, co-publisher of Golf360, said: “In the last decade, the golf media industry has made major strides by beginning to embrace the global game. However, Golf360 takes international golf coverage to a whole new level with in-depth, first-hand, on-the-ground reporting on everything from competition to travel to business.”
Easily accessible from around the world via website, mobile device and e-newsletters, Golf360 offers the industry’s most timely coverage of golf news worldwide to a global audience.
Golf360’s twice-weekly e-newsletter – delivered to inboxes on Wednesdays and Sundays to correspond with tournament schedules – highlights the world’s top golf stories by geographic region, allowing readers to receive geo-targeted news and updates, all with one easy glance. For further information, readers can simply click on the headline to access the full story and most up-to-date content on www.Golf360online.com
US-based Clayton Morris, co-publisher of Golf360, said: “It’s an undeniable fact that golf has truly become a global sport, and golfers the world over are becoming more and more interested in the international scope of the game.”
“Golf360 was created to fill this ever-expanding niche and to provide global coverage from every angle.”
With news bureaus in Asia, Europe and North America, Golf360 will not only shine a spotlight on golf’s burgeoning markets and rising stars, but also reach out to fledgling golf countries to emphasize their progress and development.
In addition, the digital network will regularly feature content from internationally known contributors, such as Daniel Chopra.
