If you like golf, this sounds good. Senior Editor gig with travel and TPC membership (but I hear it's just a limited membership). Not bad. The only catch is you have to actually work for the tour. The place is notoriously tight and political. Guessing there's not alot of objective reporting there and you bury more stories than you would like.

It would be a great gig, except for the work and the burying of stories.

Anyone know the timeline of when they're looking to make the hire??

 

[mookieblaylock]

don't know the time frame, but after talking to some people, beware they are looknig for this person to be the mouthpiece of the tour. apparently, they hated the last guy who was there. he wanted to practice opbjective journalism or something crazy like that. anyway, this job is now to work with communications people and get the message out there. never a bad word shall be said.

if you can live with that, they'll try to get things in place fairly quickly to get ready for the new season.

Anyone have an idea on pay?

By the way, that "last guy" was Joe Wojciechowski, Gene's brother.

And yes, for better or worse, you'll be pumping the tour and avoiding a lot of "bad" news. There's really nothing unethical about it, it's their website, they can deal with content however they want.

Just understand that going in.

Any idea where Joe's ending up?

 

[The Computer Says No]

Joe went back to ESPN. Doing NFL, as far as I know.

Tiger can do no wrong stories? Wow, I never get tired of those items (sarcastic font off).

Any movement on this position? The new season will be here before we know it.

What's going on with this job ... are they even going to hire anyone

I think the PGA Tour will survive without this position being filled for a while.
