I feel like they used to on a fairly regular basis, didn't they?

I wish there was a regular pga stop here. Makes no sense that the third biggest market doesn't have one. They should do a rotation, so each club doesn't get disrupted every year by hosting.

Seems like a lot of obstacles to play around, but I'm sure the members had a vote (or whatever) on the schedule.
Looked up what are called the top 15 courses in Chicagoland. Not a lot of them see televised tournaments...
1. Chicago Golf Club, Wheaton
2. Shoreacres, Lake Bluff
3. Medinah Country Club No. 3, Medinah
4. Old Elm, Highland Park
5. Beverly Country Club, Chicago
6. Butler National, Oak Brook
7. Olympia Fields North, Olympia Fields
8. Skokie Country Club, Glencoe
9. Black Sheep, Sugar Grove
10. Conway Farms, Lake Forest
11. Olympia Fields South, Olympia Fields
12. Bob O’Link, Highland Park
13. Glen View Club, Golf
14. Onwentsia Club, Lake Forest
15. Rich Harvest Farms, Sugar Grove
No research on my part: but I'd have to say that I've heard Medinah more than any other course on that list as far as televised tournaments. (Obviously, a few of those courses have opted out of PGA-style events.)
