Disney Classic Golf Tournament on the PGA Tour

The tournament most commonly referred to today as the Disney Classic was played on the PGA Tour for more than 40 years, from the early 1970s into the 2010s. When it was last played its official name was "Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Classic," one of many names by which it went over that time period.

First played: 1971

Last played: 2012

From 1974-81 it was a two-man team event. When the tournament ended, it had settled into a spot as the year-ender on the PGA Tour slate. It ceased operation when the last title sponsor withdrew and no replacement was found.

Jack Nicklaus holds the record with three wins in the Disney Classic, and those were in the first three years the event was played — back-to-back-to-back. The second-ever win of Tiger Woods' career happened here in 1996. The lowest 18-hole score ever recorded in the Disney Classic was a 60 by Justin Rose in 2006.

In 1975, Sam Snead, age 63, partnered his nephew J.C. Snead to a 7th-place finish. In so doing, Snead set a record that still stands: oldest golfer to record a Top 10 finish on the PGA Tour.

Golf courses: The golf courses of the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Fla., were the home throughout the tournaments history. Two golf courses — the Palm Course and the Magnolia Course — were always used (play taking place on both tracks during the tournament). In a few years, two additional courses, the Lake Buena Vista Course and Eagle Pines Course, were also used.
