Quotes

"Everything we're doing helps the field, helps the tour see us building momentum, helps us look like a leader on the PGA Tour - all of which are surprisingly important when the agents and players and tournament directors think about who's got momentum in the game. Everything we're doing today has a net benefit for the RBC Canadian Open and its future and the way we're going to build that thing out." - Jim Little, RBC's chief brand and communications officer.http://www.google.com/hostednews/canadianpress/article/ALeqM5g95mn6gagIRfKOd8Emv9cTzM2L4g
