Welcome to PGA Tour Lunch
This e-Newsletter, in beta form this week, is designed to give golf fans a quick update on the most basic and important information on the PGA Tour and its tournament of the week. It will come to your inbox at Noon (ET) on most days but might slide a bit, depending on the site of the weekly tournament.
While there’s a glut of e-News flooding your inbox every morning, PGA Tour Lunch will provide you with some interesting reading at lunchtime. It is designed to be no more than two or three screen scrolls on your mobile device. We are not affiliated with the PGA Tour or any tournament but rather an independent news outlet. As we continue beta testing, we will offer a limited amount of advertising and partnerships.
After initial testing here, this will eventually become a stand-alone subscription-based e-Newsletter. We are considering expansion to the NBA and other sports. Boston-based @SoxLunch is a sister publication. Please let us know what you think.
