ESPN GIVES 2009 RE/MAX WLDC FINALS BIG INTERNATIONAL PLAY
16 AIRINGS SCHEDULED FOR
ESPN AFFILIATES
ROANOKE, TEXAS (December 11, 2009) - Over the next several weeks, ESPN will have the RE/MAX International balloon in full flight.
ESPN, through its international affiliates, has scheduled a total of 16 airings for a 90-minute highlights telecast from the 2009 RE/MAX World Long Drive Championship finals.
"Sixteen shows? Wow. That represents unprecedented international coverage for power golf's premier event," said Art Sellinger, LDA owner and chief executive officer. "We're ecstatic that the Worldwide Leader in Sports has put together such an extensive schedule."
Sellinger teams with two-time U.S. Open champion Andy North to provide analysis and color commentary as golf's biggest hitters showcase their remarkable talents in scenic Mesquite, Nevada.
Canadian sensation Jamie Sadlowski, 21, claimed power golf's top prize at the 2009 finals, successfully defending his 2008 title, while long drive legend Bobby Wilson, 53, made RE/MAX history by winning both the Senior Division and Super Senior Division titles.
"ESPN will showcase our sport on Christmas Eve in Canada, Christmas Day in the Caribbean islands and New Year's Day in Latin America," said Sellinger. "We couldn't be more pleased with this great exposure."
In the United States, ESPN will debut the RE/MAX finals telecast on Sunday, Dec. 20 at 1 p.m. Eastern Time; ESPN2 will re-air the show on Christmas Day at 2:00 p.m.
