Lake Merced Golf Club outside S.F. last week “approved a proposal" to make more than $3.6M million in course upgrades, a "prerequisite” to holding a PGA Tour event in September hosted by Warriors G Stephen Curry, according to Ron Kroichick of the S.F. CHRONICLE. Octagon, which reps Curry and is “set to run the event," will cover $2.8M of those costs. PGA Tour officials had approved Lake Merced “as the tournament venue, pending an agreement on course changes.” Landing a title sponsor for the tournament is the “only remaining obstacle, and Octagon and tour officials are close to a deal with an East Bay-based company.” Curry is “expected to actively recruit tour pros to play in the event,” though he himself “would not play” (S.F. CHRONICLE, 12/8).
