The most obvious is location
The most obvious is location. This year and
Tarps next, the tournament that has ushered in the Fourth of July the past three years will be played at Aronimink, a classic Donald Ross gem that is subbing for the Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Md., while that course is prepped to host the 2011 United States Open.
Almost as obvious is that Woods is no longer listed as the official tournament host.
Those two changes are not explicitly linked, though they have been reported as part of the discussions between AT&T and the PGA Tour that ensued after the company ended its personal sponsorship agreement with Woods but continued its sponsorship of the event.
There have been indications that Woods, who is the defending champion, could resume his host role when the tournament returns to Congressional in 2012 for at
Tarps least the two years remaining on a contract with the tour that runs through 2014.
