Ed Moorhouse, PGA TOUR Co-Chief Operating Officer, said: “In less than 15 years, The Presidents Cup has grown from little more than an idea to the incredible event it is today — a world-class competition that brings together the game’s best in the spirit of goodwill and friendship. We are pleased that GOLF CHANNEL, which has been a great TOUR partner over the years, will host early-round coverage of The Presidents Cup, bringing viewers a wealth of golf knowledge and insight for what is always a thrilling event.”

Hey I just wanted to let you know, I really like the writing on your site. But I am employing Firefox on a machine running version 9.10 of Xubuntu and the UI aren’t quite correct. Not a important deal, I can still basically read the articles and explore for information, but just wanted to inform you about that. The navigation bar is kind of challenging to apply with the config I’m running. Keep up the good work!
