Morgan Defends Under New Name

Champions TourWEST DES MOINES, Iowa -- The Principle Charity Classic is a new event on the Champions Tour schedule this year. It replaces the old Allianz Championship, which relocated to Boca Raton, Florida.
 
Gil Morgan won the Allianz last year with rounds of 66-64-67 at Glen Oaks, beating Loren Roberts by one shot for his 24th Champions Tour title and first victory in two years.
 
Only Hale Irwin and Lee Trevino have won more times on the Champions Tour.
 
The GOLF CHANNEL will have two hours of coverage Friday, then three hours on both weekend days. Next up for the Champions Tour is the Bank of America Championship in two weeks. That event was cancelled last year because of flooding.
