| 释义 |
The Tournament of Hope was a proposed South African golf tournament which was planned to start in 2013.[1][2] It was originally scheduled to be the fifth World Golf Championship event (WGC) event, but that status was revoked in September 2012.[3] When first announced, the tournament was to have a purse of US$10 million, which would have been richer than any other golf event.[4] This was later reduced to $8.5 million.[1][2] The proposed week of the tournament was the first week of December (summer in South Africa). However that week conflicted with the Chevron World Challenge (hosted by Tiger Woods and sponsored by the United States PGA Tour) and the Nedbank Golf Challenge (sponsored by the Sunshine Tour).[2][5] The tournament was unable to secure sponsorship and the tournament was postponed indefinitely.[6] References1. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.europeantour.com/europeantour/news/newsid=154638.html |title=International Federation of PGA Tours to sanction South Africa tournament |date=11 February 2012 |work=European Tour |accessdate=2 March 2012}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite news |url=http://www.pga.com/news/pga-tour/tournament-hope-in-south-africa-join-world-golf-championships-in-2013 |title=Tournament of Hope in South Africa to join World Golf Championships |publisher=PGA of America |agency=Associated Press |accessdate=2 March 2012}} 3. ^{{cite news |url=http://espn.go.com/golf/story/_/id/8454833/south-africa-host-second-richest-tournament-golf-2013 |title=South Africa to host $8.5M event |work=ESPN |agency=Associated Press |date=2 October 2012 |accessdate=3 October 2012}} 4. ^{{cite press release |url=http://www.pgatour.co.za/article.asp?id=413486 |title=Sunshine Tour announces major coup for SA golf |publisher=Sunshine Tour |date=12 April 2011 |accessdate=15 April 2011 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110807120718/http://www.pgatour.co.za/article.asp?id=413486 |archivedate=7 August 2011 |df= }} 5. ^{{cite news |url=http://sports.espn.go.com/golf/news/story?id=6335667 |title=South Africa tour announces $10 million WGC event |work=ESPN |agency=Associated Press |date=12 April 2011 |accessdate=2 March 2012}} 6. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.pga.com/news/pga-tour/south-africas-big-money-tournament-hope-postponed-needs-sponsor |title=Big-money South Africa Tournament of Hope postponed, needs sponsor |publisher=PGA of America |date=1 February 2013 |agency=Associated Press |first=Gerald |last=Imray}} 1 : Golf tournaments in South Africa |
