Tournament History
While the Procore Championship lacks a long, illustrious history filled with Hall of Fame Champions, the event, which began in 2007, had an important place in the recent state of the PGA Tour. First as the opening event of the Fall Series (2007-2012), and then (2013-2018, 2020-22) as the opening event of the FedExCup’s wraparound season (Sep-Aug).
Now it’s back to where it began: as the kickoff event to the FedExCup Fall, a standalone series of tournaments.
The Procore Championship will bat leadoff for the PGA Tour’s eight-stop Fall series which finalizes eligibility for the 2025 PGA Tour season.
The inaugural 2007 event was won by former Masters Champion Mike Weir; other notable winners include Rocco Mediate, Jimmy Walker, Stewart Cink, Max Homa and Sahith Theegala.
Homa (2021-22) and Brendan Steele (2016-17) are the tournament’s only two-time winners. Each won their two titles in back-to-back years.
Phil Mickelson never won the tournament title but made his first fall appearance in over a decade at the 2016 Safeway Open. The event was managed by Lagardere Sports and Entertainment, which also managed Mickelson.
For its first 14 editions, the title sponsorship was relatively stable: Frys (2007-15) and Safeway (2016-20). But it’s now on its third title sponsor in just five years after Fortinet bailed out two years early on its six-year sponsorship commitment.
The course venue itself, the North Course at the Silverado Resort & Spa, is among the many prides of legendary course designer Robert Trent Jones Jr.
Prior to becoming the host course of the current rendition of a tour event, Silverado’s North was home to another PGA Tour event (1968-1980): the Kaiser International Open, which later became the Anheuser-Busch Golf Classic.
