Description

The National
, originally titled for sponsorship reasons as the
AT&T National
and later as the
Quicken Loans National
, was a professional golf tournament on the
PGA Tour
from 2007 to 2018. It was hosted by
Tiger Woods
and benefited the
Tiger Woods Foundation
. It was usually held either in late June or during the
Fourth of July
weekend in the
Washington, D.C.
area, except for 2010 and 2011 when it was held near
Philadelphia
.
The National was a 72-hole
stroke play
tournament. It was one of a few events given "invitational" status by the PGA Tour and consequently had a field of only 120 players, as opposed to 156 players at most full-field tournaments.
The first edition of The National in
2007
was held July 5–8 on the Blue Course at the
Congressional Country Club
in
Bethesda
,
Maryland
, northwest of Washington. The event returned to Congressional in
2008
and
2009
when it was held midway between the
U.S. Open
and
The Open Championship
to ensure a strong field of competitors. The National was part of the Open Qualifying Series that gave non-exempt players a chance to compete in The Open.
