Castle Rock hosted the PGA Tour and received positive feedback from players and fans, with outstanding performances and a successful event. Despite some traffic issues, the tournament chairman, Duffy Solich, expressed satisfaction with the tournament but hinted that an annual event might not be feasible due to the amount of work involved in hosting it. However, he and George Solich, the chairman and president at Castle Pines, are open to bringing the championship back in the future, possibly every four to five years.
The return of the PGA Tour to Castle Rock after 18 years was met with enthusiasm from the golfers and spectators. Scottie Scheffler, the current world No. 1, showed his emotions after encountering difficulties during the game, highlighting the challenges of the course. Rory McIlroy also faced obstacles but managed to salvage the round. Despite some dramatic moments, the galleries remained well-behaved and enjoyed the tournament.
The Solich brothers played a crucial role in bringing the PGA back to Castle Pines. While they acknowledge the support of the community and neighbors, the decision on hosting future events will depend on various factors. George Solich indicated that they hope not to make it a one-time occurrence and have been working to ensure the course meets the standard expected by the late Castle Pines founder, Jack Vickers.
Overall, the return of the PGA Tour to Castle Rock was a success, with positive feedback from players and spectators. The Solich brothers are open to the possibility of hosting future events, contingent on various factors, including community support and the course’s readiness. The tournament was a testament to the hard work and dedication of all those involved in making it a memorable event.
