The Fresno area is assurred of some golfing star power this year -- even if the PGA Tour event falls through.

The Save Mart Shootout announced that the legendary Lee Trevino will be coming to town for the annual charity event at Riverbend on Oct. 14-15. Also, Charles Howell III, currently fifth in the FedEx Cup standings, will be here along with Natalie Gulbis, Brittany Lincicome and Peter Jacobsen, among others.

So, if the PGA Tour event that is supposed to make its debut in somewhere in Fresno the following week doesn't happen, at least area golf fans will have something to which to look forward.
