09:44 AM ET 07.29 | As one American icon exits the PGA Tour, another prepares to take its place. Golfweek has learned that The Greenbrier, the venerable mountain retreat recently rescued from financial straits, is awaiting confirmation from the Tour to join the schedule for 2010. The West Virginia resort would replace the Buick Open, which this week will end a 51-year run on Tour, according to two sources familiar with The Greenbrier's operations who requested anonymity. Jim Justice, who swooped in with an eleventh-hour deal to buy The Greenbrier earlier this year, told Golfweek on July 28 that Tour officials have made multiple visits to White Sulphur Springs and like what they see. "We want to have a PGA (Tour) event at The Greenbrier," Justice said. "I think the PGA would want to have a PGA event at The Greenbrier." "I'm waiting for them (the Tour) now."
