The Western Open, one of the oldest events on the PGA Tour, will move to Chicago’s Cog Hill Golf and Country Club next year in compliance with anti-discrimination guidelines, according to published reports.
The Chicago Tribune and USA Today reported that Butler National Golf Club is being dropped because it does not allow female members.
New PGA Tour regulations, which go into effect next year, prohibit tour events from being held at clubs that exclude applicants on the basis of sex, race or religion.
