When he departed in 1993 — after Phil Mickelson won — the purse was more than $1 million. Morgan, who was the Century Club’s first full-time director, guided the tournament through two sponsorship changes.Morgan also oversaw improvements at Torrey Pines and chaired San Diego’s Golf Advisory Council.
