"Winning and rising to the first place, Making sure top three is a big prize basically." Jim Furky won the champion in the Hilton Island and Transitions Championships. "Your seeds are listed well. It equals you go a step ahead. But the most importance is winning three times in a season. I have never done that before." US PGA Tour returned to Greenbrier Resort again since Sam Snead got the title of Greenbrier Invitational in 1958. Sam Snead had the very deep roots with this place. He had been as residential coach for 29 years. In addtion, from 1993, he started to serve as a honored professional coach until he died in 2002.

 

Obviously, the story of Greenbrier are not just these. His long history can date back to president Wilson. Stadiu opened in 1914. President Wilson was the first batch of people to golf in the Old White Course. Besides, the nearby Greenbrier Course held the Ryde Cup of 1979, Champion Tour Event (1985 to 1987) and Solheim Cup in 1994. What a pity, Resorts lost an enviable Mobil five-star rating. But a year ago, businessman Jim Justice of West Virginia saved Greenbrier from the brink of bankruptcy and vowed to restore its former glory.

 

Friendship between Slugger White as the referee of  US PGA Tour and Jim Justice can trace to their childhood. At that time, they often played from morning to dusk in Bekri. Clearly, they were always playing golf. After he heard that Jim Justice bought Greenbrier, he called Jim at once. "For us, that is the Emerald City," Jim Justice said. Then they talked about how to make professional golf back here. A few months later, Greenbrier Classic was launched to replace the position occupied by the Buick Open.

 

Jim Justice said that everything was just the beginning. Not long ago, he ran a steak store with NBA super star Jerry West. But earlier this month, they unveiled a underground casino with 80 million dollars. This week, apart from setting the total prize money of 6 million dollars, Jim Justice took out of 1 million dollars as award of hole in one of 18th hole par three. Jim Justice stated that 0.75 million dollars of this award will be donated to charitable organizations, while the player who played hole in one can obtain the rest. Every round three people at most can get this reward.
