The chase will be in the last 4 events of the year with the last event, The PGA Tour Championship to be scheduled SEP 13-16 2007.The Ryder Cup/President's Cup will be the following week. The 2007 PGA Tour schedule does not include The Funai Classic. Disney just added yardage to the Magnolia GC this year. Always a fun golf event on ABC/ESPN because of the MK WDW railroad sounds near the course.(Don't know about the weekend coverage because of Wilma).

I've played both courses, and it's great to know that last year I birdied #17 on the Magnolia while Tiger bogeyed it. He sucks, and I am teh hawt! I just like seeing the pros play holes that I've played before, adn both the palm and magnolia are great courses. Most tour pros say that the magnolia is a really tough course to play at sea level...and everybody wants to play there since their families go to WDW in the evenings. Bad move not having it in 2007.

Right now, they are stuck with the 4 majors and any event Tiger is entered in as the only events that will have major public interest.
