The Greenbrier is excited to host the PGA TOUR's newest event July 25-31, 2012 as part of the FedExCup Series - giving players and fans alike the opportunity to experience professional golf against the backdrop of this American treasure.
From the Ryder Cup in 1979 to the LPGA Solheim Cup in 1994, to the PGA's Champions Tour from 1985-87, The Greenbrier has defined championship golf.
West Virginia has an incredibly rich golf heritage and The Greenbrier is a legendary golf destination, so it makes all the sense in the world for the PGA TOUR to choose this resort and our state for this prestigious tournament event.
The Greenbrier has had considerable involvement with professional golf over the years. The course was built in 1924 and renovated by Jack Nicklaus in 1977, played host to the 1979 Ryder Cup Matches as well as the 1994 Solheim Cup Matches. The tournament also played host to Champions Tour tournaments from 1985-87. Measuring 7,000 yards and playing to par 70, The Old White Course was originally designed by Charles Blair MacDonald.
With such a rich golf heritage, The Greenbrier is fortunate to have hosted some of golf's most prominent players. Over the years, many of the game’s greatest players, including Sam Snead, Tom Watson, Ben Hogan, Byron Nelson, Arnold Palmer, Gary Player and Lee Trevino, have graced The Greenbrier’s historic fairways.
