Regions Tradition

The Regions Tradition presented by Coca Cola is an event on the PGA Tour Champions. First staged 36 years ago in 1989, the PGA Tour recognizes the event as one of the five senior major golf championships. Starting with the 2010 event, Regions announced that it was taking over sponsorship of the tournament. For five years, the event was played at the Shoal Creek Golf and Country Club in the Shoal Creek development, southeast of Birmingham. The Tradition superseded the Regions Charity Classic, a regular Champions Tour event which began in 1992 as the Bruno’s Memorial Classic. Shoal Creek previously hosted two PGA Championships, in 1984 and 1990.

Since moving to Alabama in 2011, the event has been played in May and June. It moved from Shoal Creek to the nearby Greystone Golf and Country Club in 2016, and is held on the recently renovated Founders Course.
