The tour views the possibilities of promoting the event on a year-round basis rather than just a week or 10 days. As far as our structure, that is not an issue at all. The fact that we are going to such a fabulous golf course, that's a big deal to them and a bigger deal to us.

It's been a good week for us, a good run. Chrysler sees some opportunities with the new setup that they are pretty darned excited about.

It's kind of like NASCAR. I don't know if you've been to Fontana for the California 500. There is more than an auto race going on. We are going to create the same thing here, and we have the room to do it and the facilities to do it, and that's our goal.

(Sunday) they bumped it up nine or 10 yards, which is a lot for them. With that extra yardage, plus a little extra wind, it was playing down wind, everyone was going for it. Somewhere in between is what we want.

Sunday pins are one thing, but some of these were extreme, and I think (the tour staff) realizes that. It's new for everybody. I think you will see, significantly different pin placement for next year, particularly for the pro-am competition.

We started the week with the dedication of the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic Medical Building in our honor on the campus of the Eisenhower Medical Center, and we are thrilled to be ending the week with the announcement of a continuation of our 42-year relationship with Chrysler during which we have raised nearly $42 million for charity in our community. We look forward to an exciting future with our title sponsor, Chrysler, which is and continues to be the longest running sponsor-tournament relationship on the PGA TOUR.

You sweep your finger over the sensor. ... A flood of images goes from the fingerprint sensor into our chip. A fingerprint sensor in one of our tiny image processor chips is built into the handle of a gun. ... You grab the gun, you sweep the finger over the sensor and, in less than a heartbeat, if you are authorized to fire the gun, you can. Otherwise you can't.

He expressed to us that if he was feeling up to it, he wouldn't miss it.

If the gun is knocked out of your hand, it would be disarmed. If the gun were stolen from you, if your little one tried to pick it up, the gun would not fire.

We look forward to an exciting future with our title sponsor.
