The Greenbrier Classic will once again be played at the Old White TPC course at the Greenbrier Resort in White Sulpher Springs, West Virginia.
It will be the seventh edition of the Mountain State tournament, which was first played in 2010, and won by Stuart Appleby. Last year’s tournament was cancelled due to severe flooding, so the defending champion is Danny Lee who took home the title in 2015.
Lee will return to West Virginia to defend his inaugural PGA Tour title in a field which is one of the weakest you will find on the PGA Tour schedule, with no player ranked inside the world top 20.
The marquee players in the field include Patrick Reed (No. 21), Phil Mickelson (No. 25), Jimmy Walker (No. 38), and Bubba Watson (No. 42).
