We aspire to stage the best golf tournament in the world. We think we're at an elite level already. But we think we can get better ... this is one of the most ambitious things that's ever happened.
We have no current plans to change our regulations and allow their use during competitive play on any of our three tours. Of course, their use continues to be permitted during practice rounds.
[Pillsbury was quick to note the overall plan isn't an attempt to position the tournament as a major championship but rather a necessary step to] elevate the entire experience ... It's the right thing to do, and it's the right time to do it.
We're not contemplating any change for our competitions.
Because negotiations are ongoing, we have no comment. I want to reinforce that we are not done.
Because our discussions with our TV partners are still in progress, it's not appropriate to provide any comment on those discussions.
We're going to continue to look for ways, over time, to bring meaningful, high-impact events to Harding Park. That's still our intention. ... We're obviously well aware of our contractual commitment.
If the courts disagree, ... maybe it isn't so cut and dried.
We spend a lot of time talking to our tournaments about the need to upgrade what they do. Yet we're the marquee event, and if we're going to urge others to keep raising the standard, we have to show them what it is.
