The Deutsche Bank Championship, the second event of the FedEx Cup playoffs, might be played at TPC Boston in Norton, Mass., for the last time this week for a couple of reasons.
Deutsche Bank's contract as title sponsor ends this year, and Bill Woodley, chief executive officer of Deutsche Bank Americas, wouldn't say recently if the German banking giant, which has had problems, will renew.
"We haven't made a decision about that at this point," Woodley told reporters. "The Tour is looking forward to giving some news on tournament week."
In addition, there was talk earlier this year that the PGA Tour might shorten the playoffs from four events to three, and if that happens, it seems that the Deutsche Bank Championship might not make the cut.
