Liu Longji said that, RG has always been providing the best products for juniors, enthusiasts and coaches in a dedicated and persistent manner. RG networked indoor arenas have been set in communities, schools and business districts, allowing more people to participate in golf conveniently. “In the next five years, tens of thousands of Chinese juniors will participate in high-level competitions such as PGA JLG through RG platform.”

As Nicklaus said, both scales and market images of RG networked arenas make us believe that RG can achieve the reach of PGA JLG to juniors. Upon cooperation between PGA JLG and RG, a Chinese competition company will be established for operating PGA JLG offline. At the same time, PGA JLG online competitions will be arranged through RG simulators in RG networked arenas, enabling more juniors to participate in offline competitions. PGA JLG will hold sub-finals and finals in China every year. The champion team will compete for the world championship in the United States finals, team members will have the opportunity to watch the PGA finals and the Ryder Cup, and even communicate and learn from the legendary superstar Nicklaus and the PGA JLG promotion ambassadors McIlroy, Michelle Wie, Rickie Fowler and Lexi Thompson.

If young people are strong, China will be strong. Juniors are the future of China’s golf. The golf platform jointly built by RG and PGA JLG will definitely attract more juniors into the golf world, develop more outstanding golfers, and help Chinese juniors go out of China and compete in foreign countries. We look forward to it!
