It would seem to me that the nationwide tour needs to cancel its event in Miami or play it two days maximum with hurricane Wilma. Likewise, Funai plays on 2 different courses. Orlando may get some damage from the storm. It would seem logical that the Funai Classic would play 36 holes a day through Friday, since the event is on two different courses. Why are the events acting as if no hurricane is approaching?

Because there is too much money to be lost if they cancel. I'm sure some of the pros will DNS themselves.
First, I think safety is more important than money. Look at Katrina. Second, Disney could finish their tournament Friday, since the first two rounds are on two different courses. They don't have to finish on Sunday. Finally, Miami Nationwide event needs to either shorten their event to 36 holes or just cancel.
Of course safety is more important than money, but big time sponsors and TV network may not see it this way. I heard an NHL game in Florida is already cancelled.
I think The Nationwide tour should cancel the sunday round and play 18 extra holes today or friday, and play very early on Saturday. I think this event will be hit the hardest.
Orlando can't cancel the event, there is too much happening for the top 125 money spots. No one is sure where this storm is going to hit yet, Orlando might not get much weather. I think that is why the PGA tour is taking a wait and see attitude.
P.S. Even though this is a big storm, Orlando and Miami are pretty far apart. I think only one of the two venues will be effected.
