Why Social Media for Quail Hollow Championship? The PGA TOUR, TOUR players and our fans were
already using social media.
It provided a new medium for distributing information.
It was an opportunity to do something innovative before other tournaments did the same.
In a vacuum, others will create forums of their own.
Tournament Tweet Topics– Player announcements
– Ticket sales messages
– General tournament information
– Hole-by-hole descriptions of player action and course set-up

Twitter Results• @QuailHollow has 3,031 followers
• It maintained status as one of the most talked-about users during tournament week and the week prior
• Developed a base of followers to build upon for the 2011 tournament
