RENO, Nev. (AP)—The PGA Tour is moving the Legends Reno-Tahoe Open to July, the same weekend a nationally televised celebrity golf tournament has been played at Lake Tahoe for 20 years.

The PGA event historically has been played in August at Montreux Golf & Country Club on the edge of Mount Rose between Reno and Lake Tahoe.

The new dates, July 15-18, put it opposite the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship at Tahoe and the British Open. Those tourneys are on network television.

The Reno-Tahoe Open will continue on the Golf Channel.

    Sounds like they will have a tiny gallery. After all, I'm sure most casual golf fans would much rather see Mario Lemieux, Michael Jordan, Tom Brady, etc., than the journeymen pros who failed to make the British Open.

    By the way, if you're running a golf tournament, which is worse, being relegated to the Fall Series (when all the top players are home) or opposite a major (when all the top players are in the major)?
