Hackers Go After the PGA

Looks like the PGA is under cyber attack.

I know several companies that have been hit with ransomware this year. Several guys have lost their jobs over it.

Hopefully while they have control the hackers will improve that POS website

Does this have anything to do with them potentially moving the PGA HQ up here to Frisco in the next couple years?

I'd imagine the PGA email server likely holds a number of professionally and personally damaging communications (to put it lightly), so these wealthy men will quietly be sending some bitcoin to the "400 lb guy in his mom's basement" that did this.

doesn't sound like they got into their email files. seems like they are most concerned about logos, graphics, etc. that are needed for web and tv marketing stuff.

They should probably consider backing up their data in the future...

Tiger did it
He was hunting for bunch of recent scorecards to destroy so he can claim pics or it didn't happen

Had no idea the PGA was considering that. West Palm to Frisco?

The PGA Tour specifically is HQ'd in Ponte Vedra. I think the group in WPB is membership, club pros, etc.

Yeah, I know the PGA Tour is HQ'ed in Ponte Vedra. I know 2 guys that work there. PGA of America is what this is about.

Many years ago when they had recently finished the World Golf Village I was had several meetings with Tim Finchim and a female VP who's name I don't remember; but she went on to become the president of the WNBA.
They seemed like very smart people and the whole organization seemed to be run very well. If I remember correctly they planned on having an NFL retirement community near the WGV? Don't know if that ever happened. It was funny since I have no interest in golf; but most of my friends who golf where so jealous that I was hanging with that crowd.

A group of developer investments groups just paid billions for thousands of acres bisected by the DNT, just north of El Dorado. The PGA of America's HQ is one of the big tenants they're looking to anchor the whole thing.
