Highlights
Now known as the Children's Miracle Network Classic, Disney has hosted this PGA Tour event since 1971. Prominent winners include Jack Nicklaus from 1971-73, Tiger Woods in 1999 and Vijay Singh in 2003. Stephen Ames took the $828,000 first-place prize in 2007. The tournament is played on the Palm and Magnolia Courses on Walt Disney World property. It has seen four name changes since 1998, as it was previously the National Car Rental Golf Classic, the Disney Golf Classic and FUNAI Classic from 2003-06. It has hosted some of golf's best players, but in recent years it has struggled to draw top-10 talent partly because it falls at the end of the Tour season.
