"Yet another potential sponsorship disaster looms for the PGA Tour."

You can read all of the specifics from Steve Elling's report, but the future of Stanford Financial is clearly in jeopardy.

Kann and Chamblee sport the seersucker

Kraig Kann and Brandel Chamblee wore seersucker coats earlier today during the Sprint Pre Game in Memphis.  I was confused, until I read this PGATour.com release:

For the first time in this tournament's 54-year history (Stanford St. Jude), the winner will not only take home a trophy, he will also become the proud new owner of a seersucker winners' coat courtesy of the classy gentleman's clothier, Brooks Brothers.

I'll be honest, I don't know the first thing when it comes to fashion.  Whenever I hear Marty Hackel offer some sort of commentary, I'm as confused as a middle schooler listening to a Dennis Miller stand up routine.

I'm not sure who from TGC told Kann and Chamblee to wear the seersucker, but wouldn't it be weird to see Jim Nantz and Nick Faldo in the 18th tower wearing matching tartan jackets at Hilton Head?

Play suspended at St. Jude

Play was suspended at 11:57 a.m. Central Time due to severe thunderstorms at the Stanford St. Jude Championship.  Adam Scott holds the lead at 7-under-par through 16 holes.  Play is expected to resume at 3 p.m. CT.  This is the third week in a row that play has been suspended on the PGA Tour due to inclement weather. 

Seven of World's Top 12 scheduled to play St. Jude

Phil Mickelson (2), Adam Scott (4), Vijay Singh (6), Geoff Ogilvy (8), Padraig Harrington (10), Retief Goosen (11), and Sergio Garcia (12) are all scheduled to play at this week's Stanford St. Jude Championship in Memphis.  For the full field click here.
