Tim Crosby Quotations

The PGA Tour schedule was set for 2002 through 2006. They were obviously aware of when we were playing when the Champions Tour decided to schedule their tournament in Cary.

For a long time, we have not been confident that Chrysler would continue. Their body language has been this way for a while. They've got a lot going on right now and the timing is just tough for them. But we're confident (about finding a new sponsor). We wouldn't have put that tournament in that (March) date if we didn't think we could sell it.

It's the most valuable asset a tournament has. It's a big thing to be able to rub shoulders with the best athletes. You can't shoot baskets with Michael Jordan, but you can hit it around with Tiger or Phil or Vijay.

Nothing has been finalized at this point in time. We've told the tournaments as soon as we have something to convey, we will do that. Sure there are a lot of tournaments who are anxious to get stuff solidified. We know that planning does not work in a 12-month window. We want to get information to them as soon as we can.

In terms of local business giants, they have one of the best boards in place on the tour. They did everything we asked of them, and they did it first class. Everyone (at the PGA Tour) has been very impressed.
