The reality is we have to keep all our options open. I would love to say that Chrysler will be the sponsor for the next 20 years, but that's living in a fantasy world.

I don't know where this thing stands. I would think the PGA Tour is making some progress, but some slow progress. It's going to take some time. I'm sure they're doing the right things.

But we have an opportunity with the new board and a new structure to take this event to the next level. But that depends on where we fall on the schedule.

We're on the right track. We're being proactive. We're doing everything we can to get the best possible dates.

Have we slipped over the last 10 years? That's safe to say,

I think there were two things that happened as to why we are back and we got the dates that we wanted. That's the history of this great tournament.... And the other one is they got a clear picture of our board and they understand that we've now got, if not the best board on tour, one of the best.

I think if our fan base is strong that would speak volumes to the tour,

We have this year's tournament and '06 and we are focusing on that. And as far as the future it's very difficult to say right now what will happen. The tour isn't talking to any outside groups about the future so it's a difficult position to be in.

We worked hard to get that new date. Now we've got to work hard to keep it.

There are many people, including the members of our new Foundation Board and the Greensboro Jaycees, who have worked tirelessly to make this happen.

There are a few golfers that (tournament directors) hope and pray they get and Sergio is one of them to me, ... We're excited because he's a worldwide celebrity.

We'll have to see what the tour pitches to Chrysler and then we'll see where we stand,

There's a scarcity of tournaments. If a corporation around the world wants to be a title sponsor, they only have a couple of options. So I think that helps out.

It's a very special, special day around here. Being a part of the FedEx Cup series was our goal.

Its about as good as we could have done. The goal is to get really strong in the next four to six years, and maybe we have a chance to get better dates then.

It's about as good as we could have done.

It's not really that frustrating. We'd always want to have Davis Love here. It's his golf course, he's a North Carolina guy, but beyond that, we just want Davis to be healthy.

(Daly is) one of the four or five guys every one of us (tournament directors) wants to have in his field.

Each of these amenities is designed to enhance the fans' experience.

I wanted to accomplish three things this year. Making this year's tournament better and getting the foundation set up. And the third thing is battling like heck for dates from 2007 to 2010 so that's where we are right now.

Every tournament has its own particular issues in getting players, ... For me, this is the most excited I've been about our field in the last two or three years.

I'm not going to say (ticket sales) won't be affected because, of course, they will. But the important thing is for Davis to get healthy and, if that means not competing in Greensboro, then that's what needs to be done.

In creating those sponsorship levels it really has helped make the tournament more viable. It puts a major emphasis on some of our corporate sponsors.

I'm not sure we would have taken it. I just don't think our board was willing to accept that. We might not have had a tour event. That's how serious we were about this. We did everything possible to keep this golf tournament, and then some.

I honestly don't know if we would have even had a tournament if we would have been placed after the Tour Championship.

I have to give credit to Justin Conrad and the leadership of the Greensboro Jaycees where we could set this up and succeed. The Greensboro Jaycees' board of directors really came through in a big way.

I think our field is going to be stronger, top to bottom. I can't tell you how much stronger.

I feel better than I did when I was walking around Quail Hollow at the Wachovia Championship in May, but I don't think we're out of the woods.

This is a great statement of how important the event is to the community. It's a statement of how important it is to us and how much a part of our history this tournament is.

This is a great old event that is about to get much better. I think the tour is starting to realize what we have to offer, and that we are very serious and committed to being a serious player on the PGA tour schedule.
