CBS/NBC or ESPN would kill for this. Are there any plans to release this for TV/HDTV? Also, my kids want to challenge other kids at schools/universities.

There are no plans to release this game for TV/HDTV at this point. However, in our first full version of the game (this is our beta version) players will be able to see who else is playing the game, play a round with their friends, and be able to challenge other players!

Hi:
Have you thought about running this like a lottery? I would be easily willing to pay $1.00 per day if 10 million other users joined me to play in a daily tourney whose payout was $10 million.
People in Asia have been looking for this, and I believe that they will go crazy for this game. What plans do you have for announcing it so people in Asia know about World Golf Tour?

We definitely plan on making the World Golf Tour available to people in Asia and around the world. In the future we will be running tournaments where you will be able to play against other players and compete for prizes and/or cash. Keep an eye on this blog for more details about our product!
Thanks for the ideas and glad you like the game!

Hi:
My friends and I are dual members of Diablo Country Club and La Quinta. We would like a feature that would allow us to IM each other for a daily challenge where we can set our own prize pot. When will you be able to handle these types of microtransactions? Is it legal for us to use WGT to wager against each other based on skill?

Hello:
Japan investors own several private exclusive clubs in the United States. You could greatly contribute to their revenues by charging WGT members green fees to play these exclusive courses. As a WGT member, I would definitely pay $35 for a WGT round at Pebble Beach!
This is awesome and my countryman in Japan will love this game. Keep up the great work. When will this be in Japan, give me a date please.

The ability to handle micro-transactions so you can play against your friends for your own prize pot is an excellent idea and something we will look into further.
Currently, anyone in the world can play the World Golf Tour! We are only able to award prizes to United States residents in this version, but in the future, we hope to allow all players to win prizes. Our goal is to add golf courses from around the world as well, so WGT members can have access to the most beautiful and well-known courses available.
