Somehow I'm not sensing they are worried about a sales dip in Ponte Vedra on the news that Lee Westwood won't be coming to The Players. Garry Smits reports:
Ty Votaw, the PGA Tour's executive vice president for communications, pointed out Westwood has until May 6 to make a final decision on entering The Players.
"Lee is a great player and if he ultimately chooses not to play in this year's Players he will be missed," Votaw said. "Regardless, The Players will still have one of the deepest and best fields in all of golf."
