Stephen Curry golf event scrapped; PGA Tour talks with sponsor fall apart

The PGA Tour has scrapped plans to hold a new, Stephen Curry-hosted event at Lake Merced Golf Club in Daly City, sources told The Chronicle on Tuesday.

Tour officials had expected to formally announce the new tournament within the next two weeks. They even held dates on the calendar (Sept. 19-22) for the fall portion of the 2019-20 season.

But negotiations with potential title sponsor Workday, the finance and human resources software company based in Pleasanton, unexpectedly fell apart. Tour officials don’t have time to find another title sponsor, especially given the course changes Lake Merced would need to make in the next eight months.
