From 2007 to 2012, it was the final event in the
PGA Tour Fall Series
, and also the final official event of the PGA Tour season. As such, it was a final chance for many players to earn or retain a PGA Tour card through winning or getting into the top 125 on the Tour's money list. The 2010 and 2012 winners,
Robert Garrigus
and
Charlie Beljan
respectively, were both outside the top 125 before their wins.
The tournament was removed from the PGA Tour schedule for the 2013–14 wrap-around season after
Children's Miracle Network
declined to renew their sponsorship and no others were found.

The 2012 purse was ,700,000, with 6,000 going to the winner.
