Links 2001 VGA Tour Media Alert (June 12th, 2001)
CALLING
ALL CYBER-GOLFERS: TEE OFF FOR
A SHARE OF $75,000
ON THE 2001 VGA TOUR
 Microsoft
today launched the 2001 Virtual Golf Association (VGA) Tour, the world's largest
and most comprehensive golf tournament on the Internet. This year's Tour
will feature an international flair, as participants from 12 countries will be
battling it out for a share of over $75,000 in prize money. All PC golfers
who own Links 2001, Microsoft's award winning golf simulation for the PC, are
eligible to join.
Cyber-athletes who wish to register for this
year's VGA Tour must visit www.linkstour.zone.com.
With just a few clicks of the mouse, golfers will be part of the most
realistic golf tour on the Internet. Registration begins June 12 and
continues throughout the VGA Tour.
Over 12,000 golfers participated in Microsoft's inaugural Virtual Golf
Association Tour. Paul Willey, known as the "Tiger Woods of PC
Golf," took home last year's VGA Tour crown in Hawaii along with over
$100,000 in tournament winnings. Joe Montana and Russ Francis were
on-hand to present the grand prize.
The 2001 Virtual Golf Association Tour begins
June 25 and will include three preliminary
major tournaments, a semi-final for the top 70 on the money board following
the three tournaments and a final event, in a location to be determined, which
will pit the top four players
against each other head to head.
