EUROPEAN TOUR
Nick Tarratt – Director
“On behalf of the European Tour I would like to congratulate Sport360 on their continued high standards of sports journalism and delivery of a quality product. What excites and impresses me as both a sports fan and a sports administrator is the turnaround of live sports news to print form so quickly that is so essential in these days of modern media platforms. A great example is the Ryder Cup with play finishing at 2am or 3am and then I wake up to have it all delivered to my doorstep at 7am Dubai time and be able to read all about it with analytical back story comment. Impressive stuff for 2000 editions and keep up the good work.”
