I did not plan in this submit however we had pretty a chunk of information Monday so... Right here is going.
First off, the European Tour announced their 2019 schedule, which has modified quite a chunk because of the PGA Championship moving to May. That positioned it opposite the BMW PGA, which is the ET flagship occasion. And changing that prompt a whole string of modifications.
The European Tour looks quite healthful to me. There are 47 events and the events were shuffled to make the end in their season very strong, just whilst the PGA Tour can be starting their new season. Remember, the PGA Tour wants to give up early with a view to avoid competing with the NFL and university football.
To me, this is extremely good scheduling. This is going to present the ET approximately 3 months of high-powered tournaments when the PGA Tour is targeted on getting the brand new Web.Com Tour grads playing. Especially for the men who need to play both tours, this can be a dream come true.
If you want greater details about the modifications, this post by means of Will Gray over at golfchannel.Com will give you the highlights of the agenda modifications.
The other news concerns the individual part of the competition at the East Lake Cup, where the college teams jockeyed for seeding. Albane Valenzuela won the women's title and helped nab top seed for her Arizona Stanford Cardinals. And while Oklahoma State’s Viktor Hovland managed to grab the men's individual title, it wasn't enough to stop the Duke Blue Devils from snagging the top seed among the men's teams.
And before you ask, Duke is a group from North Carolina so, sure, I'm very glad approximately that.
The team portion of the event begins today and finishes tomorrow. GC will cover it, of course -- the pregame show at 2pm ET and the "official" coverage at 3pm ET.
