2015 Korean sponsers forthcoming that is , I assume


Why would sponsors not want their names out there now ?

"With the Championship aiming to return to Korea in 2015, the event continues to feature both Korean players and to be extensively broadcast in Korea"

[dusseldorf] 10/4/2014 08:03

A step in the right direction - and removal of a lot of uncertainty - given the timing of the event date and annual joint military ops with US/S Korea around the time of the event the move to Singapore will perhaps be better received by international players this year.

The television reach seems quite high for the event, so I'd be interested to find out who's paying for rights to broadcast it. Television reach perhaps a key driver for who the sponsors are..

buywell2 - Prize fund comes from the event sponsors and ticket sales I assume

[buywell2] 10/4/2014 08:01

where is the $1.5m coming from ?

to pay prize money for 'The Championship'

[cottoner] 10/4/2014 07:54

The Open , The Masters, The Championship.

Seems a bit odd though having no name for an event 3 weeks away

I mean for example what do they say re advertising it ?

Knige still might buy in here but only when the chart says so

[knigel] 10/4/2014 07:45

It's possible there is a number of smaller sponsors instead of one major sponsor - the company would have to update the market either way before the start of the event. Do you hold shares here - or just can't let go?

Todays RNS golf championship has no name it would seem and 3 weeks to go

Knige any ideas ?

[buywell2] 10/4/2014 07:39

What is this new golf championship mentioned in todays RNS called ?

Or is the name dependent on the sponsor ?

[knigel] 10/4/2014 07:34

orvil, cheers - regular news flow will be good and start to push the share price back up (hopefully!)

[orvil] 10/4/2014 07:25

Undoubtedly more news to come.

Swinging over to golf news,

And Fans in Singapore who've been deprived of some worldclass Men's action, can now look forward to a new tournament which is tee-ing off here in just 3 weeks.

The US $1.5 million dollar event which is known as 'The Championship at Laguna', is co-sanctioned by both the European and Asian Tours.

And it will take place on the Masters course at Laguna National.

With the grand Singapore Open missing from last year's calender due to sponsorship issues, golf enthusiasts can now look forward to this new 4-day event in the 1st weekend of
May.

And a field close to 160 players will compete, as they include 6 Singaporeans like Mardan Mamat and Lam Chih Bing.

They'll be up against the likes of Australia's Brett Rumford and Thailand's Thongchai Jaidee.

Championship update RNS - going ahead as planned next month but moved to Singapore from Korea - perhaps another reason for delay in updating shareholders? No mention of the main sponsor BUT I presume the company would have to issue a "profits warning" to shareholders if this was still a significant issue?

Goodnight

Three weeks tomorrow and The Championship will be under way. Sill, apparently, no main sponsor. Who will pay the prize money? Will PAA suffer horrific losses on the event? The excitement is almost unbearable...

[orvil] 09/4/2014 20:10

littlemadam I was sarcastically referring to my previous posts which answered your question. Health is deteriorating very slowly which is a big positive- thanks for the thought. I will be able to benefit from a PAA revival when they pull their finger out.

[littlemadam] 09/4/2014 20:05

Orvil, old boy. What did you mean when you said you thought I could read?
BTW, how's the health?

KNIGEL stand by your beds ( a military expression for news pending imminently)

[knigel] 09/4/2014 18:17

Just two days left - for news this week!

[dusseldorf] 08/4/2014 12:34

Added a small amount (again) myself into SIPP today. Until the company releases otherwise, I'm still of the view we are on track.

It is frustrating to have lack of news, but at the end of the day we're not at the sharp end.

Still can't find any commentary about the Championship event so it has to be said those involved are keeping very tight lipped (either way, you'd have thought 'something' would be out in public by now).

[ga123] 08/4/2014 12:15

well lets wait and see what earth shattering news we have by Friday,cant wait.

[orvil] 08/4/2014 11:24

Littlemadam and I thought you could read!

[littlemadam] 08/4/2014 11:05

This week, orvil?

LEG going great guns for me.
Come on PAA!
