So is Pat still gonna be involved - that is hold and guarantee the money IF there is a US Open? Cause if the answer is no, good luck to any player that decides to play in that event.
Per the interview, Pat has the WPA sanctioning and scheduling of those dates, the hotel blocked those dates out and needed a commitment. The Behrmans stalled until the eleventh hour and Pat decided to go for it and schedule the hotel and lock in the dates.
The Behrmans left the whole deal, the sanctioning, the hotel dates, and accustats contract, the advertisers agreements...they took their "US Open" name and went away to plan a super secret event that will be announced soon.
That means if there is one, there will be no WPA sanctioning without guaranteed funds, and with no Pat involved, I seriously doubt that will happen.
