Reno-Tahoe Open in July, same weekend Tahoe celebs

RENO, Nev. (AP) The PGA Tour is moving the Legends Reno-Tahoe Open to July, the same weekend a nationally televised celebrity golf tournament has been played at Lake Tahoe for 20 years.

The PGA event historically has been played in August at Montreux Golf & Country Club on the edge of Mount Rose between Reno and Lake Tahoe.

The new dates, July 15-18, put it opposite the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship at Tahoe and the British Open. Those tourneys are on network television.

The Reno-Tahoe Open will continue on the Golf Channel.
