Champions Tour's Tradition moves to Shoal Creek

Golf Betting Lines

08/23/2010 - Birmingham, AL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Shoal Creek will host a Champions Tour major next season, it was announced Monday.

The Birmingham club, best known as the controversial host of the 1990 PGA Championship, will be the site of the re-named Regions Tradition.

Regions Financial became the new title sponsor for the tournament formerly known as the JELD-WEN Tradition. The company previously sponsored the Regions Charity Classic played in Hoover, Alabama.

The 2011 Tradition will be played May 2-8, making it the first of five majors on the schedule for the 50-and-over tour.

"We're very excited to move this major championship to Alabama and Shoal Creek," Champions Tour president Mike Stevens said in a release.

The official announcement was made at a press conference Monday attended by Lee Trevino, among others. Trevino won the 1984 PGA Championship at Shoal Creek.

The club is better-known, however, for the criticism it received about its all-white membership leading up to the '90 PGA Championship. Wayne Grady won the tournament.

This season's Tradition was won by Fred Funk on Sunday at Sunriver Resort in Oregon.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP

With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.

There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
