THP Match Play Challenge
Ever wanted to be a tour player? THP is going to give that opportunity to 16 golfers.
The Hackers Paradise will be holding an event that is like none other before it. A weekend of competitive golf where golfers will get a tour like experience and be a part of a team and staff like most have dreamed of for years.
Match Play Team Event
Sixteen golfers will have the ability to compete in this weekend event and there will be two teams of 8. Each team will be complete with a team captain that will become the center piece for each roster. It will be their job to set lineups, make changes and work with their teammates to come up with the winning formula. Teams will compete in 3 rounds of golf over 2 full days.
Tour Experience
Each golfer that competes will be "sponsored" by THP in conjunction with a major OEM for the weekend of golf. The competing golfers will "sign" on with THP (in conjunction with a major OEM) for the weekend and will be sponsored in full. Their contract is made up with things SUCH as this:
Staff Bag
Hat and/or Visor
14 clubs
Full scripted apparel
Footwear
Golf Ball
Accessories
On top of being part of a brand for the competition, competing golfers will also cut promos for video, have signage, talk with "media" about the items and brand they represent and more
Video & Scoring
On the home page of THP during the event, there will be both video and scoring updates during the weekend. You will see player interviews, company testimonials, and actual on the course gameplay taking place before your eyes. There will also be a scoring feature where you will be able to follow along with the matches and see who is playing and what team is coming out on top.
Stay tuned for more. Next week we will the rest of the details up and of course how to sign up for those eligible.

When & Where
Friday, August 19 - Sunday, August 21, 2011
Orlando, FL
The Courses
Reunion Resort is the only destination in the world to boast three Signature golf courses designed by legends Palmer, Nicklaus and Watson. Combining the beauty of their natural landscaping with unique and challenging layouts, these courses have won numerous awards and followers over the years. www.reunionresort.com
The Companies
Callaway Golf and TaylorMade/adidas/Ashworth Golf will be sponsoring this event and each company will have 8 golfers that they are sponsoring through their THP partnership. This is not team Callaway vs team TaylorMade, as both teams will have four "staffers" on each roster.
Each company is thrilled and delighted to be working with both THP and their new weekend staff and we cannot thank them enough for being involved.
The Cup
THP wants to make this a special event and we believe we have something incredible on our hands here. With the assistance of some influential people, we have decided to name this THE INAUGURAL MORGAN CUP. It is named after the founder of THP and it is something that we think will stick throughout both promotion and the future. There will be trophies and a logo that match this exciting event and the name is completely universal.
STAY TUNED TO THP FOR THE OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT COMING LATER THIS WEEK!
All questions will be answered at that point.
