Warriors’ Stephen Curry to host PGA Tour event in Bay Area in 2019
By Ron Kroichick Published 2:27 pm, Thursday, May 17, 2018 PGA Tour and Octagon officials are planning to hold a new tour event in the Bay Area in September 2019, with Warriors guard Stephen Curry as tournament host, a source told The Chronicle on Thursday. Octagon, the sports management company, will run the tournament. The venue has not yet been determined, as Octagon officials seek corporate partners and a host course. Curry’s agent, Jeff Austin, works for Octagon. The new tournament will be part of the PGA Tour’s fall schedule, after the FedEx Cup playoffs conclude. This addition comes as the tour prepares to reshape its schedule. The new lineup will debut with the 2018-19 season, as the Players Championship moves to March, the PGA Championship moves to May and the tour’s playoff events wrap up before Labor Day, to avoid conflicts with football.

By Patrick May | [email protected] | Bay Area News Group PUBLISHED: May 16, 2018 at 10:20 am | UPDATED: May 17, 2018 at 5:23 am The horrific collision Tuesday night on Interstate 880 in Fremont that claimed three lives is just the latest in a string of deadly wrecks involving a cannabis-impaired driver. The suspect in this week’s wreck, which tied up the highway until the morning commute, was reportedly driving recklessly and at a high rate of speed on 880 before the crash occured. That driver was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of marijuana and is suspected of causing the collision. The suspect was identified as Dang Nguyen Hai Tran, 21, of San Jose. According to Sgt. Rob Nacke, spokesman for the CHP’s Golden Gate District, which includes the nine-county Bay Area, if the trend since 2017 continues, 2018 could see a 70-percent rise in pot DUI arrests. Nacke on Wednesday released these statistics for the local region in 2017: DUI arrests … [Read more...] about Bay Area’s deadly pot-related crash added to list of tragedies in other cannabis-friendly states
