That money has to come from somewhere.
The Shaw event has had no problem raising $2.3M purse plus an additional $2-5M in charitable donations each of the last four years, with sponsorship increasing during a brutal economic climate. I don't think there would be any issue with the Canadian Open raising the necessary funds if it came through Calgary on a rotation every 4 years or so.
