Celebrity, Reno PGA golf tourneys on same weekend

By Dan Hinxman, Reno Gazette-Journal

The Reno-Tahoe Open has a new date and renewed enthusiasm.

The American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament has new competition and is not happy about it.

The RTO, which has been held in August at Montreux Golf & Country Club since its inception in 1999, has been moved by the PGA Tour to mid-July starting in 2010 where it will take the week vacated by Milwaukee’s U.S. Bank Championship, which folded on Oct. 15.
