ORLANDO, Fla. (April 5, 2011) – Golfweek announced today that it is working with HP to create and distribute exclusive specialty Golfweek publications via HP MagCloud, a revolutionary content publishing Web service from HP. To kick off this new joint effort, Golfweek and MagCloud will release a multitude of Masters-related offerings, including a 2011 Masters Preview, a series of limited-edition photo magazines and an interactive fantasy golf game.
“Our collaboration with HP MagCloud has been built entirely with the golf consumer in mind,” said Golfweek Publisher Jason Redditt. “From exclusive specialty publications to engaging interactive channels, this new pairing allows golf fans to get more of what they want, exactly how they want it, and we are thrilled to provide our readers with yet another way to get into the game with Golfweek.”
Designed solely for distribution through MagCloud.com, Golfweek’s 20-page Masters Preview and standalone photo magazine series are available both for instant digital download and custom printing. Digital issues cost $1.99, while print/digital combo packages (which include a perfect-bound print copy plus the digital edition) are $4.99.
Golfweek’s 2011 Masters Preview on MagCloud allows golf fans to enjoy in-depth features and coverage from Golfweek’s award-winning writers. Highlights include:
• A revealing article about Phil Mickelson’s lifetime love affair with Augusta
• An inside look at the amateurs who get their moment on the Masters stage

Each of Golfweek’s commemorative photo magazines feature 20 pages of striking photography taken at Masters tournaments throughout the years. Photo magazine topics include Multi-Champions, Augusta The Beautiful, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods. In addition to these stunning retrospectives, Golfweek will also release separate photo magazines at the end of each round of the 2011 Masters to chronicle the day’s events, all in addition to a special winner’s edition that will capture the new champion’s journey to earning the coveted green jacket.
