Stephen Curry’s golden touch wasn’t enough to secure sponsorship for a new event the PGA Tour planned to add to its schedule this fall in Northern California.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported on Tuesday that negotiations with potential sponsor Workday Inc., the Pleasanton, Calif., based financial management company, unexpectedly fell apart.
The Curry-hosted event was scheduled to be played Sept. 19-22 at Lake Merced Golf Club and begin with next season’s schedule, but there doesn’t seem to be time to find a replacement sponsor.
Lake Merced planned to make $3.6 million in course upgrades to host the event, according to the report, and there is still the option officials could find a sponsor in time for the start of the 2020-21 season.
