Next Monday is the start of one of the most popular golf tournaments of the PGA Tour. The Buick Open is going to be held at the Warwick Hills Golf & Country Club located at the beautiful city of Grand Blanc, Michigan. The event is going to take place from Monday July 27th until Sunday August 2nd and is going to be televised in CBS and TGC.
There are some interesting facts that are making this competition attractive. The total purse this year is $5 Million with a share of $900,000 to the winner. Another good detail is that there are 500 FedEx Points in play on this competition to the winner, and that is why everybody is trying to chase those points. I cannot wait until the playoffs to see who is going to win the $10 Million from the FedEx Cup.
The schedule looks normal; nothing really special is going on besides the exciting competition. Here is in more detail how the schedule is going to look.
