The latest troubled PGA Tour event in Texas
First, it was the Shell Houston Open reeling from the consequences of some dubious decisions.
Then, a change of date and a mediocre golf course is generating concern over the future of Dallas' EDS Byron Nelson Open.
Now, this Kevin Sherrington/Dallas Morning News column (free registration required) notes that the best Tour players are turning their backs on the venerable Colonial Invitational in Ft. Worth and the tournament is losing its title sponsor to boot.
And, just to remind, San Antonio's Texas Open is played in October, smack dab in the middle of football season.
Does anyone with PGA Tour management notice or care that the Tour's Texas tournaments are quickly becoming afterthoughts?
In the meantime, this Alistair Tait column about Darren Clarke's costly example of sportsmanship at the recent Irish Open reminds us of one of the big reasons that golf is such a special game.
