Clock Ticking On WGC Match Play...
/Commissioner Vincent Peale admitted in Tuesday's State of Ponte Vedra sitdown in the Players media center that there is no news on WGC Match Play's search for a sponsor.
Rex Hoggard reports on Tim Finchem's comments Tuesday and includes this:
“We are not yet ready to announce anything and are trying to have a decision by the end of May,” he said. “It’s been taking a little longer than we thought.”
In February, Finchem said he hoped to have a decision by April on the new venue and title sponsor, and he added that a possible return to Dove Mountain was not off the table.
The decision, I'm hearing, does not revolve around sponsor options but what to do with an event that can't land a sponsor due to the exhorbitant costs associated with a WGC event.
