Can Steph Curry bring PGA Tour golf to Alameda?

PGA Tour officials visited Alameda’s Corica Park twice in the past 10 days, and the course has emerged as the frontrunner for a planned new tour event in September 2019 — hosted by Warriors guard Stephen Curry and including a full field of professional golfers.

Several PGA Tour executives, in the Bay Area for the season-opening Safeway Open in Napa, checked out Corica’s renovated South Course on Oct. 2, two sources told The Chronicle. One of the tour’s agronomists then inspected the course Monday, the day after the tournament ended at Silverado Resort.

Corica Park’s South Course re-opened in June, after an extensive redesign by noted architect Rees Jones.
