World Golf Championships-Workday Championship at The Concession Becomes First Tour Event With Two Championship References In One Title
/
No, I’m not excited about this week’s WGC Mexico City replacement in Bradenton, Florida. Maybe the course will grown on me, but with Tiger Woods in a hospital room this will be a tough one to get up for. Plus, all-things-considered, it was a super West Coast Swing that wrapped too soon for a month of swamp golf.
And a tournament called the World Golf Championships-Workday Championship At The Concession (WGCWCATC).
That said, this week’s venue does have a nice story behind it and some of the players have even heard the story of the 1969 Ryder Cup. Now, ask me again on Sunday after 498 tellings of The Concession story. I might feel like Captain Sam Snead did about one of the great acts of golf sportsmanship.
This is a nice recap of that Ryder Cup, including a reminder that it was Jack Nicklaus’ first ever Cup appearance:
As for the course, look to the trusted digital outlets for the best “content” on The Concession. They may not be credential worthy to some golf organizations but someone has to pass on the WAGs slideshows and sponcon to cover the game!
