This was shared In a public statement, where the Tour additionally revealed that a partner is also being sought to handle the media distribution. LET added that respondents should be “able to demonstrate an affinity and understanding of the sport of golf and golf production, present a financially viable proposal and demonstrate an innovative approach to programming, catering for changing audience habits”.
It is expected that the ITT will be released on 1 March and the deadline for applications will be 17 March, with bidders encouraged to get in touch with the relevant contacts as soon as they can.
