Nationwide to end tour sponsorship in 2012Golf Betting Lines09/03/2010 - Dublin, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Nationwide Insurance has closed one door and opened another. The company said Friday it will no longer sponsor the PGA Tour's developmental circuit when its contract runs out after the 2012 season. But it also announced a six-year deal to become the presenting sponsor of the Memorial Tournament beginning in 2011. The insurance giant has been the title sponsor of the Nationwide Tour since 2003, when it took over for Buy.com, and is currently in the eighth year of a 10-year deal. PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem said he doesn't anticipate any problems finding another company to sign on as a sponsor for the 2013 season and beyond. "Some people view it as maybe the best branding opportunity in sports because of the overall exposure," Finchem said. He said the tour wants to find a company "that's active, engaged (and) wants to build something." "And if we can manage that," Finchem said, "we'll be just fine." Nationwide executive Jim Lyski said the company has been happy to be the namesake of the developmental tour, but jumped at the opportunity to sponsor the Memorial. Jack Nicklaus' tournament -- a top draw on the PGA Tour -- is held at Muirfield Village in Dublin, close to Nationwide's headquarters in Columbus. "We have been very, very happy over the last several years with the Nationwide Tour, but when we had an opportunity to step up and sponsor or present the Memorial, it was too good of an opportunity to pass," Lyski said.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds Will he or won't he? Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team. Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team. "I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success." Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate. Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns. But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches. Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback. It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips. Here are the football odds as seen at MySportsbook.com and subject to change after February 10, 2007 if not locked in prior to that date.
