on the
PGA Tour
, played on The Old White

The Old White course joined the
TPC
network of courses in March 2011.
In 2018, the event was renamed
A Military Tribute at The Greenbrier
, in honor of U.S. military involvement at the Greenbrier site (such as its use as a military hospital during
World War II
, and
Project Greek Island
).
[9]
As part of major changes to the PGA Tour schedule, the event moved to September in 2019. Since the season began in the fall, the event skipped the
2019 season
and was the first event of the
2020 season
.
[10]
It was announced in April 2020 that, due in part to decreased attendance in its September date making the tournament less appealing to sponsors, the event would not return and the remainder of the contract with the tour had been cancelled by mutual agreement.
The 18-hole "Old White TPC" course at the The Greenbrier facility in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia features 7,292 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 70. The course rating is 76.0 and it has a slope rating of 145 on Blue grass. Designed by Charles B. Mac Donald/Seth Raynor/(R) Lester George, the Old White TPC golf course opened in 2017.
