Well, I guess it is the end of an era. The Buick Open is ending and this year will be the final event. Just another blow to the psyche of many Michigan boosters. The PGA will probably move to some location in the Sunbeklt since everyone else is.

Next week's Buick Open, one of the oldest events on the PGA Tour, will be the final version of the event, with General Motors pulling its sponsorship after 51 years, Golfweek reported.
Tom Pernice Jr., a member of the Tour's Player Advisory Council, and a second, unnamed source, said the Tour planned to formally announce a new sponsor and venue the week after the July 30-Aug. 2 tournament is played, according to the report.
