Golf World Tour Players Course Ranking: Augusta #1

January 10, 2012/ Geoff Shackelford

John Antonini reports in Golf World Monday that Augusta National landed in the top spot of Golf World (or anyone else's) first ever PGA Tour player ranking. I can confirm this is correct as this has been a special project in the works for over a year, with reporting work done mostly by Craig Dolch and the package pieced together by yours truly.

I'm scheduled to appear on Thursday's Morning Drive (8:45 ET) to discuss the player list and their comments, followed by an 11 a.m. ET appearance with Peter Kessler on Sirius 208/XM 93.

And if that's not enough talking, there will be a GolfDigest.com podcast that will help launch the online coverage of the ranking, though print subscribers will get the real treat: our Zagat style summary of each course, with the best player comments featured on all 52 eligible courses.
