NEW YORK CITY and PONTE VEDRA BEACH, FL – Golf Digest Publications and the PGA TOUR announced today that they have entered an exclusive multi-year marketing partnership in the magazine category, effective in January 2006.

Through the agreement, the print properties of Golf Digest Publications will become the only consumer golf magazines recognized as Official Tour Partners, other than the PGA TOUR Partners Club publication, PGA TOUR Partners Magazine.

“Golf Digest has been a terrific partner of the TOUR in recent years and we are extremely pleased to strengthen the affiliation between these two great golf brands for the benefit of our fans and sponsors,” said Tom Wade, the PGA TOUR’s Chief Marketing Officer. “We believe this broad marketing partnership will be particularly effective in furthering our corporate partners’ ability to connect with golf fans and leverage their involvement with the PGA TOUR.”

Golf Digest Publications will provide PGA TOUR sponsors with a unique opportunity to utilize the extensive publishing and marketing assets of Golf Digest, Golf World and Golf for Women magazines. Opportunities include custom advertising, advertorials, special sections and integrated marketing programs within the magazines.

“We’re prepared to bring our substantial assets to bear in assisting PGA TOUR sponsors with optimizing their investment in the PGA TOUR,” said Mitchell B. Fox, President of Golf Digest Publications and an Officer in its umbrella company, Condé Nast Publications. “This partnership enables TOUR sponsors to call upon the formidable resources of the largest and most sophisticated media and marketing company in the game.”
