Pro Emeritus Tom Watson No Longer Pro Emeritus
/In the world of bequeathing emeritus status, The Greenbrier's second pro emeritus Tom Watson, has not had his contract renewed, reports Ryan Ballengee.
If there's a contract involved, it's not really an emeritus situation now, is it?
The resort's head, Jim Justice, says he is looking for a new pro and mercifully, one of the non-emeritus variety.
**Rich Stevens actually broke the story and included quotes from Jim Justice, including this:
“Although Tom has been a great emeritus to the Greenbrier, it is very expensive and Tom’s time is very limited,” Justice said via phone. “He’s a great man ... a great, great man and his accomplishments are world-renown, but his time is very limited and considering the component of how difficult it is for him to be at the Greenbrier and the economics of it, it’s probably better for all parties that we go a different way.”
Justice hasn’t named a replacement and attempts to reach Watson were unsuccessful.
