Nationwide event going to PGA headquarters

October 22, 2009

The Nationwide Tour is coming to PGA Tour headquarters next year with a new tournament that will be played on the secondary course at the TPC Sawgrass.

The Winn-Dixie Jacksonville Open will be played in October 2010 with a purse of $600,000. It will be held at The Dyes Valley Course, part of a complex that includes the more famous Stadium Course where The Players Championship is played.

Tour officials said Wednesday the date - either the second or third week of October - will be announced once the entire Nationwide Tour schedule is released.

All proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to nonprofit organizations in town.
