The '
Frys.com Open' is a
golf tournament in the
Fall Series of the
PGA Tour. It is played annually in October in
Las Vegas, Nevada. The tournament is held at the
TPC at Summerlin and
TPC at The Canyons.
The 2006 purse was $4,000,000, with $720,000 going to the winner. The tournament was founded in
1983. Until 2003, this tournament was played over five rounds over several other courses.
Tiger Woods recorded his first PGA Tour win here in 1996.
The tournament recently announced that the
Shriners Hospitals for Children would take over the operations of the tournament, and that the Las Vegas Founders, a volunteer group, would no longer be involved with the event.
This event became the first PGA Tour event in history to offer a total prize purse of more than $1 million. A tradition at the tournament is presenting the trophy to the champion while two showgirls are a part of the pomp and circumstance.
