2019 was the first year we both had the opportunity to coach at all 4 Majors. Our client list has expanded to a point where competing and winning majors are now part of the preparation throughout the year. In fact, a client of James' was in contention at the Masters deep into the back nine on Sunday. It was very exciting to be at Augusta National for our first time and even more so to have a player in contention to win.
Each of us have had a very positive year. New professional clients with multiple wins on various tours have driven us to continue learning and growing. I feel like the recent positive outcomes have accelerated our urge to work and improve. It's one thing to have success with one idea or one player. It's quite another to have success with multiple players and multiple ideas.
James and I have never been a one way or the highway subscriber. We have chosen the tougher route of multiple ways and deeper understandings. Only with the deeper dives can we be prepared to deal with the differences and changes that we encounter through a year.
Our success isn't only about the professional game. James' Wedge Matrix Accreditations have continued to grow and spread to new countries across the globe. Sadly, for you, by the time of this writing, his next Wedge Matrix Accreditation is full. Once again, in January, James will be offering this experience during the US PGA Merchandise Show but is already sold out. The feedback from other coaches that have attended his accreditation has been great and to see so many videos of wedge work on Instagram utilizing the Wedge Matrix has been very rewarding.
This year, we also switched over to a video streaming platform from digital downloads. It saves room on hard drives and allows for continued access from wherever someone travels if they don't like to travel with a laptop. We will likely also be moving forward with a rebranding. We have chosen new domains and ideas that we feel better encapsulate what we are trying to provide with our video streams and other offerings. Stay tuned for these releases.
We look forward to another successful year in 2020 continuing on our mission to provide high quality information along with high level coaching of that information. Continuing to work through the human performance puzzle is a challenging and never ending endeavor.
We relish the challenge.
