6554b6be8c0d829a8bf63ae0c82cf121_link.pn Byron Nelson Golf Tournament set to move from Trinity Forest, source confirms

It is not yet known where the tournament will be played in 2021.

Looks like the PGA tour has seen the error of its ways.  Building a course with no shade in Texas that's at least 15 minutes from any hotels/restaurants was not sustainable.   They now have a crucial decision to make going into 2021.   My thought would be take a look at TPC Craig Ranch if they don't want to go back to Las Colinas.

6554b6be8c0d829a8bf63ae0c82cf121_link.pn PGA Tour says AT&T Byron Nelson tournament will move after 2020

After two years of weather setbacks, disappointing attendance and declining financial results, the PGA Tour has decided that the 2020 AT&T Byron Nelson...

It's disappointing because the course was unlike (in a good way) so many of the others on the PGA Tour.

It's a bummer. We don't get to see too many Coore/Crenshaw courses on Tour, even as they take over every top 100 list. I think the only one now will be Kapalua. 

In my bag:

Some people are taking this as a referendum or something on minimalist courses on Tour, etc. But really it was about the site - there were no trees for shade, it was 15 miles from anything, etc.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By iacas · Posted

      I know what those are, and they were unofficial. They were mostly to create conversation… and promote Mark McCormack's own clients. What Matt said is correct: Tiger's career spanned 24 years. Regardless, 15 > 19 when factoring in the competition, and 82 >> 72 when doing so.

      The McCormack rankings started in 1968. They used a nearly identical methodology as the original Sony rankings. except it was a three year look back vs two. Number of good years and total output is what matters when talking about the span of career.  All years are not created equally.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By iacas · Posted

      The OWGR didn't even exist until Jack was 46 years old. So… What he said is true. Jack turned pro in 1961. He won his last PGA Tour event in 1986. That's 26 years. Tiger turned pro in 1996. He last won a PGA Tour event in late 2019. That's a span of 24 years. What he said is true. Tiger's "career" (not counting 2020-2024 where he played a handful of events each year, like Jack often would) lasted 24 years.

      People don't realize it because it isn't true.   Tiger had the following money list rankings in years you are counting as part of his career span. 68, 128, 201, 162, NA, NA, 24, 38, 223, 225   Nicklaus didn't drop out of the top 10 in the world golf rankings until he was 44. Nicklaus had 10 more years where he had a top ten finish in a major than Tiger has had as of now.
