MICKELSON RETURNS: Ready to play again as wife, mom fight cancer
The PGA Tour announced Wednesday that The Greenbrier, a historic luxury resort in White Sulphur Springs,
The tournament, to be held on the resort's Old White Course July 29-Aug. 1 next year, replaces the Buick Open. Buick ended a 51-year relationship with the Tour on Tuesday by dropping sponsorship of the Buick Open and Buick Invitational in San Diego because of General Motors' bankruptcy settlement.
Preliminary discussions with Greenbrier owner Jim Justice began roughly six months ago. PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem, who took part in the announcement at the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational, said Justice was instrumental in closing the deal.
"We knew going into this (economic) downturn we were going to have some turnover in our schedule," Finchem said. "We were delighted to be able to move quickly and make sure we didn't have a vacuum.
"I think the Tour players are going to love going to The Greenbrier. We are excited about this opportunity because of the enthusiasm we felt in our conversations with Jim Justice and his team. There is no doubt in our minds that every effort is going to be made to make this truly a quality event."
Justice, a West Virginian who was born and raised near The Greenbrier, set his sights on bringing a Tour event to The Greenbrier since he bought the resort in May.
"This will restore The Greenbrier from the standpoint of notoriety back to what The Greenbrier ought to be," Justice said at a news conference at his resort. "The Greenbrier is a five-star bloodline A to Z. It's been that since forever. We've lost one of our stars. We're going to get that star back."
The Greenbrier hosted the 1979 Ryder Cup and the 1994 Solheim Cup. It also hosted a Champions Tour event from 1985-87. Sam Snead, who won a record 82 times on Tour, served as Golf Professional Emeritus from 1994 until his death in 2002.
Tom Watson became emeritus in 2005.
"The Old White Course will make a tremendous tournament course in a traditional sense, and The Greenbrier will provide a great experience," Watson said.
Future dates of the event are yet to be determined, but Finchem said he envisions the tournament as ideal for the midsummer.
Finchem said the Tour will continue to talk with Buick and other "potential possibilities."
"After 50 years," he said, "we'd like to figure out a way to continue with Buick if at all possible down the road."

A West Virginia businessman, who made millions in farming and coal, is the new owner of the famed Greenbrier Resort.
The stunning announcement came today from The Greenbrier that Jim Justice has purchased the financially-troubled resort.
The purchase price was not disclosed. The purchase includes 80 percent of The Greenbrier Sporting Club which is an upscale housing development.
“I’m very excited to become part of one of America’s finest traditions,” Justice was quoted as saying in new release from the Greenbrier.
(Justice will be a guest Friday at 10:06 on Metronews Talkline)
The announcement is a stunning development in the unfolding story of the luxurious resort.
Earlier this year, the Greenbrier filed for bankruptcy after losing $35 million last year. Owner CXS announced at the same time that it had entered into an agreement with the Marriott Corporation, creating an opportunity for the worldwide hotel chain to buy the resort.
Last week, the labor unions representing most of the 1,400 hundred workers at the Greenbrier County resort announced they had reached new labor agreements. The unions and CSX had been trying unsuccessfully for months to get new contracts.
The Greenbrier is a significant landmark in West Virginia as well as one of the most well-known luxury resorts in the world. However, the last few years have been rough for the resort.
Competing resorts offering more amenities have pulled business away from the Greenbrier as the resort’s costs have risen. Labor problems combined with the downturn in the economy also hurt.
Justice said he wants to look to the future.
“Our near-term goal is to give The Greenbrier a fresh start,” Justice said. Even though the current economy is taking its toll on the resort, we are going to take a long-term view by focusing on reclaiming our five-star status and making the right investments for future growth.”
CSX CEO Michael Ward called the surprise development a “great result.”
“While this is an entirely different kind of transaction than expected,” Ward said, “this is a great result for The Greenbrier, its employees, the community, and CSX.
Justice sent a letter to Greenbrier employees introducing himself and detailing his plans, including gambling.
“As part of our long-term growth plans, I think we should look seriously at the potential for ‘tasteful’ gaming at The Greenbrier,” Justice said. “It is certainly not our panacea, but done correctly it could add to our allure.”
Voters last election approved gambling at the Greenbrier and the legislature approved a bill this last session allowing the resort to keep a larger share of the profits than originally designed, but the same percentage as the race tracks.
Justice is a long-time West Virginia businessman who made millions in agriculture and coal.
The Raleigh County native and Marshall graduate joined the family business in 1976, the started Bluestone Farms the following year. That enterprise grew to include 50,000 acres in four states.
His business empire expanded even more when he took over Bluestone Industries and Bluestone Coal Corporation after the death of his father in 1993. A profile released by The Greenbrier said “Throughout the late 1990’s, Jim focused Bluestone on a massive growth program acquiring tens of thousands of acres of quality coal reserves along with production skyrocketing.”
Justice is also an avid sports fan; he coaches the girl’s high school basketball team at Greenbrier East.
