# 200 Jon Manley

Jason "Puck" Puckett, former KJR host, chats with Jon Manley, Tacoma News-Tribune, about Chambers Bay and LIVE Golf are in talks about a potential partnership, signaling a shift in Pierce County's approach to hosting major golf events. Previously, Pierce County had been hesitant to pursue events that could harm their relationship with the USGA. However, with future US Open sites booked through 2042 and Chambers Bay being overlooked, Pierce County is now open to exploring other opportunities. The potential partnership with LIV Golf has generated mixed reactions, with some welcoming the opportunity to see top golfers and others expressing concerns about LIV Golf's association with the Saudi monarchy. Pierce County is also open to exploring a partnership with the PGA of America.Rundown00:00 Jon Manley breaks the story on Chambers Bay and LIV Golf 01:50 Chambers Bay and Live Golf Partnership03:54 Shift in Pierce County's Approach06:16 Importance of Major Tournaments for Chambers Bay09:22 Exploring New Opportunities and Relationship with USGA11:48 Potential for U.S. Women's Open at Chambers Bay14:09 Could the PGA of America and the PGA Championship be in play?19:28 Chambers Bay as an Ideal Venue for a Ryder Cup
