                    [Summary] => Preparations are under way for the revival of the local pro golf tour with former golf chief and sportsman Benny Gopez spearheading the re-staging of the circuit that flourished in the 90s with the year long Philip Morris tour. 


Gopez, who opted not to seek a third term as head of the amateur golf body — the National Golf Association of the Phils. (NGAP) — to focus on the revival of the pro tour, said the BMG Group of Companies will finance the circuit tentatively set to kick off in the fourth quarter of the year.
