Hi Justin - We'll need to ask the property owners. Also, we'll know closer to the date whether Simon is confirmed for the tournament. His schedule is unpredictable and he has many requests on his time.
Hi Justin - I spoke with Simon today and his travel plans to Portland for the Portland Open will conflict with Sunstein Open MPO day unfortunately
Bummer. Thanks for the update
