My Predictions

Will a wild animal disrupt another Pro Golf Tour in AUG 2008?

Settled as NO wild animal disrupts any tour

No reports of any wild animal disrupting a tour in Aug. There were also no "Tigers" reported.

Background:

On FRI, August 1st, a black bear crossed the Broadmoor's East course during the US Senior Open. The black bear eventually made his way back to the wilderness. No humans or animals were injured or tranqualized during this event.
STORY FOUND HERE:
http://sports.yahoo.com/golf/pga/news?slug=ap-ussenioropen&prov=ap&type=lgns

With several professional golf tours scheduled for AUG, do you think another tournament will be stalled/delayed/postponed/cancelled or otherwise disrupted due to a wild animal?

-bear refers to any type of live bear (stuffed animals not included)
-wild dogs refers to coyote/wolf (not celebrity pets or any other domestic animal)
**suspension for this question will be 12am ET, SEP 1,2008**


Settlement details: As reported by a major mainstream news source.

Nice Q. A common animal to watch for though are the gators.

@letmewinplees - Just so that everyone is clear, could you clarify "pro golf tour," as this could include PGA, LPGA, or some other event (for example a pro-am, or celebrity, etc).

I'd suggest using any event listed here:

Also, just as a reminder, settlement depends on this appearing in "a major new source."

Any tournament with "PROFESSIONAL GOLFERS" (male or female -PGA or LPGA) would fit the bill. I would not cosider celebrity tours or fund raiser (at your local PUTT PUTT) as a "PRO GOLF TOUR"

I think you mean NEWS source, and I don't need reminders, I have created over 100 questions without a single reminder--imagine that!!

@lmwp - I think you may have been sheltered over here in sports from all of our .. umm. discussions about settlement sources. :) The definition of "main stream media" has gotten a little stretched with some trying to claim blogs, letters to the editor, emails, phone calls etc. I'm sure mrperfkt's comment was not directed at you, but at the broader community to make sure that no one tries to claim that they were there and they saw a pigeon harassing Tiger Woods.

I think some of the new editors (certainly me at least) have been erring on the side of over clarification, not because the question creator made a mistake but because we DESPERATELY want to avoid fights and misunderstandings at settlement! So don't take it personally!
