Greg Norman, the Shootout's founder and host, was asked in an appearance in the Fox booth during Saturday's final round what he saw in the 28-year-old event's future. That question came on the heels of discussing Lexi Thompson, who became just the second woman to play in the tournament, joining Annika Sorenstam in 2006.
"I like the future of considering -- and what are talking internally of bringing back the JCPenney-style format where we actually have the men and the women playing," Norman said. "There's a lot of interest in the community as well as interest by the corporations thinking about having that opportunity."
