Running Horse Golf Championship

The Running Horse Golf Championship was a proposed PGA Tour golf tournament. It was scheduled to be played for the first time on October 22–28, 2007, which would have made it the first PGA Tour event staged in central California since 1964.
The tournament was to be staged at Running Horse Golf & Country Club, a residential golf development in Fresno, California with a course co-designed by Jack Nicklaus and his son Jack Nicklaus II, which was under construction when the tournament was announced. However, in November 2006 it was reported that foreclosure proceedings on Running Horse had begun. The City of Fresno hoped that a buyer could be found and the tournament would go ahead. The PGA Tour also remained optimistic, and the tournament director stated that the tournament could be played at Running Horse if the course was seeded by March 2007. However a move to a new venue, which would entail a change of name, had not been ruled out.
By early June 2007 there was no real doubt that the tournament would not take place at Running Horse in 2007, and on June 14 the PGA Tour announced it had been removed from the schedule. PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem stated, "Our intention... is for Fresno to be a part of the schedule again in 2008 and beyond." 
A new tournament called the Ginn sur Mer Classic at Tesoro took the Running Horse slot in 2007 and 2008, after which it was also cancelled.
