The Heritage was where Stevens


The Heritage was where Stevens, now 53, got his start. He was an intern in 1980, then assistant tournament director for two years, and then the PGA Tour’s youngest tournament director, accepting the post at age 23 and running it at 24.

Stevens still has great affection for the event at Harbour Town, and he attended meetings last year with his boss, PGA Commissioner Tim Finchem, as the PGA Tour dealt with schedule changes for 2011.Replica buy fakerolexonline, full lines of this brand you can find at our store,

The now conflicting event, the Valero Texas Open, was asked to move to the week of April 18 but could not, instead taking the Heritage’s usual week, which this year would have been April 11-17. That bumped the Heritage back a week and into a conflict with the nearby Legends.

Stevens said the Legends and Heritage each examined moving their dates, but the “huge machine” of factors — such as hotel availability, golf course access and surrounding activities — led them to conclude it’s better to keep the same dates and work together.

“You can look at it from a negative perspective and do an ‘Oh, woe is me.’ Actually, from a fan’s perspective, you’re never going to see this makeup of this caliber of player from the greatest who have ever played to the greatest who will ever play in one market. That’s pretty special right there.”

Stevens, who can speak in superlatives, thinks some golf fans will attend both events, either alternating days or even dividing a day between them.

Legends executive director Joe Rotellini said he and his Heritage counterpart,Read burberry bags reviews and reviews of burberrybagsretailers by shoppers.

The Legends’ basic daily ticket is $15 in advance, $25 at the gate; while Heritage daily tickets start at $50 for Thursday and Sunday, $60 for Friday and Saturday.

“At the end of the day, because of our pricing differential, we agreed it probably wouldn’t be successful,” Rotellini said Thursday.
