PGA's Reno-Tahoe bucks British Open


Advertiser News Services

The PGA Tour is moving the Legends Reno-Tahoe Open to July, the same weekend a nationally televised celebrity golf tournament has been played at Lake Tahoe for 20 years.

The PGA event historically has been played in August at Montreux Golf & Country Club on the edge of Mount Rose between Reno and Lake Tahoe.

The new dates, July 15 to 18, put it opposite the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship at Tahoe and the British Open at St. Andrew's. Those tourneys are on network television.

The Reno-Tahoe Open will continue on the Golf Channel.
