From Scotland to Seattle: Nicklaus' designs bridge gap

Two tournaments separated by almost 4,500 miles share one common bond: Spectacular Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Courses.
This week and on two different continents, tournaments tee off at two acclaimed designs by the Golden Bear. The European Tour’s Johnnie Walker Championship will be held at the PGA Centenary Course at the Gleneagles Hotel in Perthshire, Scotland—providing fans a prelude to the 2014 Ryder Cup scheduled to take place at the Nicklaus-designed layout 13 months from now. In the United States and Pacific Northwest, the Boeing Classic on the Champions Tour will unfold at TPC Snoqualmie Ridge outside Seattle, Wash.
