"The reality is that Greensboro will never be a top tier event again. Big money (not purse, big money influence aka Charlotte) and big cities have passed us by. However, WE HAVE A PGA TOURNAMENT. How many cities in the US can say that? Not very many and most don't have to add state next to their name when you describe them. The move to Sedgefield will do two things.. attact more fans to the tournament for the next two years because of the central location (and memories of GGO in it's heyday) and that will in turn make more money for the charities of the triad. Not a bad end result in my opinion.

If you want big names then you have to align with sponsors and or charities of the big sponsors to draw the big names at regular pga tour events.. (dates help too but those usually get worked out as part of macro economic deals) think tiger plays in almost every buick tournament and the deutsche bank in Canton, MA because he likes the bank and driving buicks? If you want stars then you have to have a plan and Brazil is on track with the AJGA sponsorships and recruiting former local college talent.

Just like all things in the south it is all about relationships and both of these initiatives are great ways to recruit fresh top talent. (sedgefield will give them a better first class experience and interest in coming back)Although we've got to set expectations appropriately... if we get 3 of the top 10 we've hit the mega load. Go for the experience and go to support charities in the Triad.

Don't go expecting to see Hogan, Palmer or Snead walk through the Sedgefield Clubhouse door... those days are over."
