History
The first tournament was held 28 years ago in 1990 and sponsored by NBC, which broadcasts the second and third round coverage on the weekend. Isuzu sponsored the tournament from 1991 through 1998, succeeded by current sponsor American Century Investments in 1999.
A 54-hole event, the first fourteen editions were conducted under standard stroke play; the modified Stableford format has been used since 2004.
The multiple winners of the event are Rick Rhoden (8), Dan Quinn (5), Billy Joe Tolliver (4), current champion Mark Mulder (3), Jack Wagner (2), and Mark Rypien (2). Actor Wagner is the only non-professional athlete to have won the event, and Mulder is the only one to win three consecutive.
