Greenbrier Hit Harder First Than Realized, '17 Classic In Jeopardy

Adam Schupak with the unfortunate news of the 2017 Greenbrier Classic being in jeopardy due to necessary green rebuilding and regrassing caused by recent flooding.

The issues facing the resort pale in comparison to the troubles of those who lost lives and homes, but still a blow to the region should things not be able to be grassed in time.

Adam Schupak reports:

The Old White TPC, host course for the tournament, suffered extensive damage from the flooding and was deemed “beyond reasonable repair to conduct the tournament,” Tour officials said. The tournament, scheduled for July 7-10, was cancelled on June 25.

“I’ve witnessed a lot of natural disasters to golf courses, but nothing to this extent, nothing even close,” said Roth, of the damage to the tournament course located in the Allegheny Mountains in White Sulphur Springs, West Va.
