Hoff's priorities: grow RTO; strengthen field; hunt for title sponsor

There has to be an ideal time to assume the role of executive director of the Reno-Tahoe Open.

"A blur. It's really been a blur," Hoff said Tuesday in his office inside a home at Montreux Golf & Country Club, where the 15th annual PGA Tour event will take place Aug. 1-4. "But it's been fun, exactly what I signed up for when I came on board."
