PGA Tour Bids Adios To Greenbrier And Military Tribute

You wonder which event might bite the dust amid all this PGA Tour re-shuffling.

Wonder no more.  Say good-bye to The Greenbrier, site of the tour’s fall event — A Military Tribute At The Greenbrier.

There will be no event there this fall or perhaps ever again as the event and the venue has been dropped by the tour.

Both sides said the termination was by the old “mutual agreement.”

Sad because The Greenbrier was a cool place for the players and their families and property had been peddled to a number of high-profile guys including Sir Nick Faldo, Phil Mickelson and Bubba Watson.  Makes you wonder if there property will go on the “for sale” market?

Of course the PGA Tour has included a full fall schedule, normally it’s so-called “crossover” season but there’s no “crossover” in 2020.

That schedule looks like this:

Oct. 1-4:        Sanderson Farms Championship CC of Jackson, Jackson, Miss.
Oct. 8-11:      Shriners Hospitals Open TPC Summerlin, Las Vegas, Nev.
Oct. 15-18:    CJ Cup Nine Bridges, Jeju Island, South Korea
Oct. 22-25:   Zozo Championship Accordia Golf Narashino CC, Chiba, Japan
Oct. 29-Nov. 1:   WGC-HSBC Champions Sheshan International GC, Shanghai, China
Oct. 29-Nov. 1:  Bermuda Championship Port Royal GC, Southampton, Bermuda
Nov. 5-8:            Houston Open GC of Houston, Humble, Texas
Nov. 19-22:   RSM Classic Sea Island Resort (Seaside), Sea Island, Ga.
Dec. 3-6:        Mayakoba Golf Classic El Camaleon GC, Playa del Carmen, Mexico

Tough to imagine any big names showing up at any of these, especially considering you’ve got that little event in Augusta, November 12-15, yeah The Masters.

Will players want to fly overseas to South Korea and Japan.  China?  Seriously?  Anyone want to go to China?

Sea Island, maybe, but China?  Perhaps when pigs fly.
