CINCINNATI - Sports Tours International has announced that the 2016 Puerto Rico Classic has been moved from San Juan to Las Vegas. Tournament officials moved the tournament due to concerns over the risk of the Zika outbreak in Puerto Rico.
"This is not an easy decision for us in light of our decades of relationships with our Puerto Rican partners," said Sport Tours President Lee Frederick. "However, we understand it is what the universities want at this time. The strength of our relationships in Daytona Beach and Las Vegas has allowed us to make the changes smoothly.
