ExpertCEO and World Golf Tour to Host Virtual Golf Tournament for Senior Executives
SAN FRANCISCO (Feb. 2, 2009) - ExpertCEO, the premier online community for CEOs, and World Golf Tour, the world’s most authentic online golf experience, today announced the "ExpertCEO Open," an online closest-to-the-pin tournament where CEOs can compete for the best score, as well as take on golf aficionados who aspire to reach the C-suite.
"Since ExpertCEO is a virtual peer group, a virtual golf tournament is the perfect way for CEOs to test their mettle," said Ken Ross, CEO and founder of ExpertCEO. "The current business environment has our discussion boards hopping with talk about the economic crisis, so we wanted to provide a bit of stress relief for our members and others who could use a few minutes of distraction."
The "ExpertCEO Open" begins Monday, February 1, and runs through the end of the month. Players will tee off on The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island Golf Resort. Participants can play as many times as they’d like, and it takes less than 10 minutes to complete a full round. To register, visit http://www.wgt.com/tournaments/details.aspx?ID=5937fa1a-19e1-4106-88be-9ba100eadc23.
The winners will receive Amazon gift cards. ExpertCEO is also offering a prize to the member of its site with the best score. To qualify for this prize, apply for membership at www.expertceo.com. You must be a CEO, president or chairman of the board to be eligible for membership; membership is currently complimentary.
"CEO’s are no strangers to the golf course," said YuChiang Cheng, CEO of World Golf Tour. "We’re excited to give them the opportunity to show their skills on a world-class course, such as the Ocean Course, from the comfort of their own home or office."
