I've never heard of them until now. That's marketing, folks. Six pages deep on Golfwrx and people are talking. Thank you for playing our little game. They have a 10 year sponsorship, that is significant revenue for the tour and for brand recognition for Korn "KF" Ferry.

100% accurate, those stats are not marketing, and are not substantial or significant.

 

You'll have to excuse VAPORZ, I would surmise he watches too much TV.

I kid you not last week was the first I had ever heard of this. I kept seeing Korn Ferry and I thought it was an LPGA event. They have some strange names. Unreal they would allow this name. Embarrassing. And what in heck was the owner of this company thinking? I know it was 69 but still.

Korn Ferry was founded in 1969 by Lester Korn and Richard Ferry. The two first met in 1962, when they worked for Los Angeles accounting firm Peat, Marwick, Mitchell.[6]

 

In 1972 the firm went public with an initial public offering (IPO), but in 1974 reacquired all outstanding shares to become private again.[7] In 1973 Korn Ferry formed Tokyo, Japan-based Korn Ferry International Japan in 1973.[8] With the opening in 1975 of Korn Ferry International Singapore the company had 41 offices in 20 countries.[9

And I thought you were going creative with this? That opening paragraph has potential. Not sure you’re aware of it.

 

I don’t have the talents but I bet we have plenty on this board. Someone please enact justice on this weird history. Make our weekend. : )
