USA NETWORK IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE MGAA

 

 

January 24, 2002, Orlando, Florida - At USA Network we are more excited and enthusiastic about our golf properties and our relationship with the PGA Tour than ever before.  Not only do we have 13 PGA Tour events, in addition to The Masters and The Ryder Cup on our broadcast calendar for this year, but we have also signed a multi-year contract that will more than double our PGA Tour tournament coverage in 2003.  The future is bright and we want you to share in the benefits of our good news.

 

We’re especially proud that in 2002 we’re also teaming up with the MGAA to develop youth clinics at various Tour events in order to introduce multicultural youngsters to the sport and provide them with access, which has previously been unavailable to them.  We feel that this is a great way to support an athletic program that strengthens self-confidence and demonstrates that success can be achieved through focus, discipline and goal setting.

 

All signs indicate that golf as a sport and life-style is growing at a rapid pace.  As USA Network looks towards 2002 and beyond, we are poised and ready to capitalize on the increased golf fan base and to bring you the best golf coverage in the world, bar none.

 

“USA Networks’ participation is a perfect fit along with PGA Tour events and our program” stated John David, president of the MGAA.  Our partnership will increase our target market, which is multicultural youth around the country who have not been exposed to the sport of golf and its attributes.

 

The Multicultural Golf Association of America (MGAA), Inc., established in Long Island, NY in 1991 as a junior golf program for children at risk.  MGAA embodies the vision of its founder and president, John David, whose substantial efforts over the past eleven years has successfully demonstrated that the sport of golf can be an effective nurturing tool for transforming America’s troubled and misguided youth into accomplished and productive citizens.

 

Nothing better defines our “Partnership” than to say we embrace a shared vision-to support, develop and promote the people, and programs that connect the “American Dream” to a reachable goal for diverse families and children.  We put “Smiles on Children’s Faces Everywhere.”
