Golf: ‘No Tiger, Rory but business is good’
a new sponsor deal for the Heritage and a renewal for the Barclays as television contract renewals loom on the horizon
NEWTOWN SQUARE:
Economic issues are going well for the US PGA, said tour commissioner Tim Finchem, even with Tiger Woods injured and top-ranked European stars skipping most US events. Finchem cited a new sponsor deal for the Heritage and a renewal for the Barclays as television contract renewals loom on the horizon. “The economy still is in a very iffy posture but certainly we feel like the base has now been laid so that we can look out five or six years with a lot of positive anticipation,” said Finchem. “We’re really pleased with the momentum we’ve had.”
