Steve Morton Week Quotations

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.

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.

It's a learning curve for the field staff and the PGA Tour, too. We were surprised at the difficulty of some of the pin placements during the week for the pro-am competition, and I think the tour staff knows to re-think that.
