    Description

    The
    Regions Charity Classic,
    formerly known as the
    Bruno's Memorial Classic,
    was an
    American
    golf
    tournament
    on the
    Champions Tour
    . It was originally held at
    Greystone Golf & Country Club
    and moved to
    Ross Bridge Golf Resort and Spa
    , one of ten courses on the
    Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail
    , located in
    Hoover, Alabama
    (a suburb of
    Birmingham
    ) in 2006. The tournament was founded in 1991 by Birmingham-based
    Bruno's Supermarkets
    . The event was managed by the Bruno family under its
    Bruno Event Team
    company.
    Through 2006, the tournament was normally scheduled to end on the first Sunday of May of each year, or a few days close to that day. In 2007, the tournament schedule was moved roughly two weeks later, to May 17–20. The first two tournaments were held in August — frequently a time of hot, humid
    climate
    in
    Alabama
    . The dates were moved to June for three more years, then finally to the early May/late April period.
    In 2010, organizers announced that the tournament would be superseded by the move of
    The Tradition
    , a Champions Tour major tournament, which is played at nearby
    Shoal Creek Golf and Country Club
    . Regions will take on sponsorship of this event, which will be called "The Regions Tradition."
    The tournament was first held in 1992 as the Bruno's Memorial Classic, with
    Bruno's Supermarkets
    as the title sponsor. The name stems from the founders, Angelo and Lee Bruno (brothers of Bruno's founder Joseph Bruno), who were killed in an
    airplane crash
    shortly after the December 1991 press conference announcing the tournament's inception as the
    Bruno's Classic
    . From its beginning, the tournament was staged at the
    Greystone Golf & Country Club
    , in the Inverness section of the Birmingham suburb of Hoover.
    Since its inception, the Bruno's Memorial Classic has been one of the most popular stops on the Champions Tour, usually attracting all of the top money winners.
