Tough times could improve PGA Tour

Tiger Woods won the 51th annual Buick Open over the weekend.
It might be the last Buick Open, too.
As everyone knows, the auto industry is ailing, and that means their big-money sponsorships are falling by the wayside. That includes sponsorships of professional sporting events, and no sport is feeling the pinch more than golf.
The PGA Tour is looking at the possibility of losing at least five tour stops next year because the sponsor dollars just aren’t there.
I suspect that’ll be a good thing.
