Report: Tour closing in on site for Curry-hosted event

The PGA Tour appears to be closing in on a potential host site for a new event held next fall that would be hosted by NBA superstar and avid golfer Steph Curry.

According to a report from the San Francisco Chronicle, "several" Tour excutives, including an agronomist, visited the newly-renovated South Course at Corica Park in Alameda, Calif., earlier this month. The Bay Area layout re-opened in June following an "extensive renovation" by architect Rees Jones.

The goal of the visit was reportedly to check out the course's viability as a future Tour host. While no agreement is in place, sports agency Octagon recently created a job posting for a tournament director that would be in charge of the as-yet-unnamed event.
