Not for a lack of trying. It was pretty hard to penetrate the Olympics qualifying and coverage in the months leading up to the event. Won't be much better in 2016. I did mention to the SSA EXCOM that we might suggest that the IGC consider WGC moving to odd years. There is only one bid for half of the 2016 WGC and the deadline for bids has been extended.
