…basically, Wells Fargo is cheap. With the increase in the status of the event which increased the purse, they didn’t want to put up the extra money.
They were never “all in” when they took over the Wachovia Championship with the merger. Basically all they did was change the existing Wachovia’s logos to the Wells Fargo colors.
