Inauguration of The Greenbrier Classic at the Historic W.A. Resort

As first-year events go, it's hard to find a better course than The Greenbrier's Old White, where the PGA Tour is staging the first edition of its brand-new Greenbrier Classic this week. The PGA Tour Playoffs for the FedExCup will ensue following the final Regular Season event of the season, the Wyndham Championship. The Greenbrier is an award-winning resort located in the Allegheny Mountains of West Virginia. The course is believed to have hosted some of the greatest players of the golfing tournaments including Sam Snead, Tom Watson, Ben Hogan, Byron Nelson, Arnold Palmer etc. The field has also come to news because of Jim Furyk, who hasn't played on the PGA Tour since missing the cut at the British Open but is resuming his playing schedule this week. Kenny Perry is supposed to be the crowd's favourite. The funds raised through the Greenbrier Classic will be donated to the families through the West Virginia Council of Churches.
