The city is responsible for paying $50,000 dollars each year. The contract says the AJGA agrees to play an active role in securing donations and tournament partners that reduces the city's financial commitment.

This year's inaugural event drew 78 players and 320 net visitors. The estimated economic impact for the city of Maryville was $341,00 dollars.

The first tournament also generated $20,000 dollars for five high school golf programs. Most of the money went to Maryville High School because of the size of the team and of the contributors were from Maryville.

Bill Oliver has returned to his alma mater as News Director for KXCV/KRNW after leading award winning news operations as part of a career that has also included sports, operations, management, and sales at public and commercial radio stations in Texas, Kansas, and Nebraska.

A 1981 Northwest Missouri State University graduate, Oliver was deeply involved with KXCV and KDLX as a student, hosting music and news programs, calling sports broadcasts, and helping keep the station on the air after the 1979 Administration Building fire.

Oliver says his return is motivated by a desire to be closer to family and to give back to the university and the mentors who helped shape his broadcasting career.
