A Military Tribute at The Greenbrier will no longer be on the PGA TOUR’s schedule ending a 10-year run on golf’s biggest tour.
The news was confirmed as per mutual agreement by The Greenbrier and the PGA TOUR.
‘We are very grateful to Governor Jim Justice and his Greenbrier Resort for a highly successful 10 years of partnership with the PGA TOUR,’ said a tour executive.
‘Governor Justice’s vision and leadership helped shine a light on the men and women that serve our country through the military and first responder programs he implemented through the tournament, and The Greenbrier Resort was an incredibly unique and world-class venue that our players will always remember and cherish.’
The event saw 59s shot by Stuart Appleby in 2010, who claimed the inaugural edition while Kevin Chappell also shot a 59 last year on The Old White TPC.
‘The tournament moving to the fall has not served The Greenbrier as well as the event did in prior years when it was hosted over the July 4th week,’ read a statement from the resort. ‘With kids being back in school, the attractiveness for sponsors and the attendance for the fans dropped significantly.’
Winners of their first PGA TOUR events at this event were Scott Stallings (2011), Ted Potter, Jr. (2012), Danny Lee (2015), Xander Schauffele (2017) and Joaquin Niemann (2019).
