Bob Hope Chrysler Classic Changes
The new Bob Hope Classic Club Course has been established as the home of the Bob Hope Classic tournament, which takes place in Palm Springs. The Bob Hope Classic Tournament is now sponsored by the Chrysler Corporation. This has significantly increased the purse for winners of the competition, as well as contributing a name change - from the Bob Hope Classic to the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic.
Bob Hope Classic Format
The tournament has a distinctive configuration, with five days of golf being played across four courses. Starting in the 1960s, a prize of $50 000 has been offered for a hole-in-one. Back then, this was a huge figure. The organisers of the Bob Hope Classic were prudent enough to take out insurance against this enormous payout with Lloyds of London for the first three years of the tournament. This was a wise move on their part because the prize money was won every single year! Today, the field is made up of 128 PGA Tour golf professionals and 384 amateurs. For the first four days, three amateurs or celebrities are paired alongside one professional player. The Bob Hope Chrysler Classic Tournament concludes with the fifth round, which is played on a Sunday over the Classic Club Course.
