Report: Lake Merced in line for Curry-hosted Tour event

A new PGA Tour event in the Bay Area hosted by NBA superstar Steph Curry is now expected to debut next fall at Lake Merced Golf Club.

According to a San Francisco Chronicle report, the club's membership voted "overwhelmingly" to approve an estimated $3.6 million in renovations that are viewed as a "prerequisite to holding the tournament." The planned changes will reportedly be overseen by Rees Jones and could stretch the Daly City, Calfornia, course beyond 7300 yards.

Lake Merced has hosted an LPGA event four of the past five years, with Lydia Ko winning three times.
