LONDON -- The revenue generated by football clubs in the Premier League struck a record 2.53 billion pounds ($4.23 billion) in the 2012/13 season as the English topflight remained the world leader. An annual review conducted by consultants Deloitte shows that revenues among the 20 Premier League sides swelled by 165 million pounds, with over 60 per cent of the growth driven by Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool. "Once again the global appeal of the Premier League has continued to drive commercial revenue growth, particularly at the highest ranked Premier League clubs," said Deloitte sports business group partner Dan Jones. "Matchday revenue also increased by 6 per cent with fewer unsold seats at Premier League games than ever before." Jones added that the increasing trend is expected to continue, with the Premier League clubs revenue likely to increase by 30 per cent to 3.2 billion pounds ($5.4 billion) in 2013-14. "This growth will be driven by the revenue from the first season of the Premier Leagues new broadcast deals and further commercial revenue growth at the biggest clubs," he said. According to Deloitte, the 7 per cent increase in Premier League revenues is the largest absolute growth of any of the "big five" leagues. Among those, German clubs generated revenues of 1.7 billion pounds ($2.85 billion) while those in Spain reaped 1.6 billion pounds ($2.68 billion). Italys clubs garnered 1.4 billion pounds ($2.35 billion) while French clubs saw revenues of 1.1 billion pounds ($1.84 billion). Overall, the "big five" saw revenues increase 5 per cent. The majority of the Premier League revenues growth arose from commercial sources, with the two Manchester clubs accounting for over half of the leagues 129 million pounds ($216 million) commercial revenue increase. Deloitte noted that the Bundesliga is still ahead of the Premier League by 55 million euros ($75 million) in commercial terms but expects the English league to "comfortably lead Europe" in all three main revenues categories -- matchday, broadcast and commercial in the 2013-14 results. In the year before UEFAs Financial Fair Play rules took effect, over 75 per cent of the Premier League clubs revenue increase was spent on wages, which rose by 125 million pounds to 1.8 billion pounds ($3 billion), as clubs spent in anticipation of the extra revenue from the new broadcast deal in 2013-14. The biggest increase was at Manchester City, with the club spending an extra 31 million pounds ($52 million) compared to the previous year to reach 233 million pounds ($390 million). Though Manchester City remained ahead of its city rival Manchester United in the player cost stakes, United won the 2012/13 Premier League title. City reclaimed the title in the season thats just ended while United sank to seventh. "The pattern in spending on wages following previous increases in broadcast deals, suggests its likely around 60 per cent or more of the revenue increase in 2013-14 will flow through to wages," said Adam Bull, senior consultant in the Sports Business Group at Deloitte. "On that basis, we would expect Premier League total wage costs to reach a new record level of around 2.2 billion pounds ($3.7 billion)." Fake Shoes Outlet .

The inaugural Latin America Amateur will start next January in Argentina. It follows the model of the Asia-Pacific Amateur, which began in 2009 with the backing of Augusta National Golf Club and the Royal & Ancient Golf Club. The U.S. Golf Association joined the latest effort in Latin America, with all three groups offering some major perks. The winner will receive a spot in the 2015 Masters and will be exempt into the final stage of qualifying for the British Open and U.S. Open, along with an exemption to any other USGA championship for which the amateur is eligible. And just like the Asia-Pacific Amateur, the idea is to accelerate the development of golf in a region that doesnt get a lot of attention. "We believe this event will be motivating to current and future generations of golfers, and one day create heroes that will inspire others to give the game a try," Augusta National chairman Billy Payne said Wednesday. "This belief has guided us well through the early successes of the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship, and with the collective expertise in guiding the game of golf provided by the R&A and the USGA, we are hopeful in achieving equally exciting results." Hideki Matsuyama, a two-time winner of the Asia-Pacific Amateur, is now No. 24 in the world. The most receent winner was Guan Tianlang, who at 14 last year became the youngest player to make a cut in a major.dddddddddddd The first Latin America Amateur will be Jan. 15-18, 2015, at Pilar Golf in Argentina. The PGA Tour recently began a Latin American satellite tour, and the new amateur event could provide an even bigger boost with golf returning to the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro for the 2016 games. The 120-man field will be determined largely by the World Amateur Golf Ranking. At least two players will come from each of 27 countries recognized by the International Olympic Committee, which also are part of the International Golf Federation. Along with South America, they include countries in the Caribbean, Central America and Mexico. The two players will be decided by the world ranking. If there are no players in the ranking, the national golf association will nominate the players. The remainder of the field will be filled by the ranking, with no country allowed more than six players. The exception is the host country, which can have as many as 10 players. It will be 72 holes of stroke play, same as the Asia-Pacific Amateur. "Supporting the games continuous growth has been a responsibility taken very seriously throughout the 260-year history of the R&A," chief executive Peter Dawson said. "Having been involved in this region of the world for many years, we understand the potential impact a championship of this stature can have on golfers with dreams of competing at the highest level."
