Anyone going?
I heard today that they had Freddy Couples pull out due to a bad back and the winner of the PGA Championship a relative no-body Rich Beam pulled out because he's tired. Tired of hauling around his pay cheque. The big problem with this tourney is the players just spent last week playing for 1.5 mill and don't want to fly to Canada to play for 500,000 or whatever the purse is.
I've heard multiple rumours that the tournament chairs from around the PGA are pushing for a system much like the LPGA that every player has to attend each tourney held, once ever 5 years. They can still pick and choose, but it's has to be done in a 5 year frame. Just one Tiger sighting at Northview would be huge.
