I'm not going to say (ticket sales) won't be affected because, of course, they will. But the important thing is for Davis to get healthy and, if that means not competing in Greensboro, then that's what needs to be done. |
I'm not sure we would have taken it. I just don't think our board was willing to accept that. We might not have had a tour event. That's how serious we were about this. We did everything possible to keep this golf tournament, and then some. |
In creating those sponsorship levels it really has helped make the tournament more viable. It puts a major emphasis on some of our corporate sponsors. |
It's a very special, special day around here. Being a part of the FedEx Cup series was our goal. |
It's about as good as we could have done. |
It's not really that frustrating. We'd always want to have Davis Love here. It's his golf course, he's a North Carolina guy, but beyond that, we just want Davis to be healthy. |
It's obviously a big blow, |
Its about as good as we could have done. The goal is to get really strong in the next four to six years, and maybe we have a chance to get better dates then. |
The reality is we have to keep all our options open. I would love to say that Chrysler will be the sponsor for the next 20 years, but that's living in a fantasy world. |
There are a few golfers that (tournament directors) hope and pray they get and Sergio is one of them to me, ... We're excited because he's a worldwide celebrity. |
There are many people, including the members of our new Foundation Board and the Greensboro Jaycees, who have worked tirelessly to make this happen. |
There's a scarcity of tournaments. If a corporation around the world wants to be a title sponsor, they only have a couple of options. So I think that helps out. |
This is a great old event that is about to get much better, ... I think the tour is starting to realize what we have to offer, and that we are very serious and committed to being a serious player on the PGA tour schedule. |
