PGA CEO On May Date: "We're in the process of that analysis"

Not surprisingly PGA of America CEO Pete Bevacqua gave no indication to ESPN.com's Jason Sobel of where things stand on a May-move for the PGA Championship.

From the story:

"We're in the process of that analysis. The good news for us is that we can stay where we are -- we love that August date -- or we can move it occasionally, or we can move it permanently. It's all part of a process we're going through."

It's a process! So is this answer:

"We have had a series of very good discussions with Jay and the tour about how that schedule could be optimized," Bevacqua continued. "Solely looking at it thru the prism of the PGA of America, we need to do what's in the best interests of the PGA Championship, but we absolutely have to consider what's in the overall best interest of the golf schedule. There are pros and cons to keeping it where it is and moving it."

John Feinstein and I debated the move this week on Golf Central in light of PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan's more cautious comments on the topic. Feinstein says it's a done deal, I still struggle to see the PGA of America saying goodbye to some longtime and successful venues for a Mother's Day final round date instead of August.
