Not because McKinney is the fastest-growing city in the US. Now they'll have a high-profile professional golf tournament to help stimulate further growth 30 miles north of downtown Dallas. </p><p>The PGA Tour has announced that the 2008 Nationwide Tour Championship will be played at the TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney. And it will carry the Nationwide's 1st million-dollar purse. </p><p>The Tom Weiskopf layout at Craig Ranch opened in 2004 and has been paying its dues by hosting the PGA Tour Qualifying School 2nd stage. From its inception, though, the desire has been for a more significant event (perhaps eventually the EDS Byron Nelson Championship, currently at the TPC Four Seasons just west in Irving). </p></h5> http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=465569 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=465569 Sun, 16 Dec 2007 16:52:00 EST
