“This year we have pursued the opportunity to live broadcast our amateur championships with great success. It is important that we continue to expose new audiences to golf in an innovate and modern way to help grow the sport.
“TV broadcasts provide the perfect platform to inspire future generations of golfers who will hope to follow in the footsteps of the young elite amateurs competing this week as they progress to the professional ranks, just as players like Major Champions Georgia Hall, Stacy Lewis and Catriona Matthew have done before them.”
