Warriors’ Stephen Curry to host PGA Tour event in Bay Area in 2019
By Ron Kroichick Published 2:27 pm, Thursday, May 17, 2018 PGA Tour and Octagon officials are planning to hold a new tour event in the Bay Area in September 2019, with Warriors guard Stephen Curry as tournament host, a source told The Chronicle on Thursday. Octagon, the sports management company, will run the tournament. The venue has not yet been determined, as Octagon officials seek corporate partners and a host course. Curry’s agent, Jeff Austin, works for Octagon. The new tournament will be part of the PGA Tour’s fall schedule, after the FedEx Cup playoffs conclude. This addition comes as the tour prepares to reshape its schedule. The new lineup will debut with the 2018-19 season, as the Players Championship moves to March, the PGA Championship moves to May and the tour’s playoff events wrap up before Labor Day, to avoid conflicts with football. Still, the tour again will launch its “wraparound” season with fall events during football season. … [Read more...] about Warriors’ Stephen Curry to host PGA Tour event in Bay Area in 2019
