Learn how SportsGen can help your organization move from static to active planning

Over the weekend we had some huge sporting events in football, rugby and golf. Manchester United all but confirmed their place in next season champions league with victory over rivals Liverpool whilst Ireland won the Six Nations with a game to spare. We even seen the return to form of 14 time major winner Tiger Woods at the Valspar Championship in Palm Harbor, Florida.

All of these events had a huge impact for the seasonal outcomes of all the organizations involved. Manchester United will now have the luxury of the financial income that comes with Champions League qualification. Ireland Rugby have the commercial and prize money benefits of winning the Natwest 6 nations, while the PGA Tour will be looking forward to next weeks event with golfs biggest star back in form and the knock-on impact that has on their revenue.
