Chrysler Classic of Greensboro
The Chrysler Classic of Greensboro is a regular golf tournament on the Fall Finish of the PGA Tour. It is played annually in October at Forest Oaks Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina, USA.
The 2006 purse was $5,000,000, with $900,000 going to the winner. The tournament was founded in 1938 as the Greater Greensboro Open. This tournament was usually contested in April or May, until a schedule change in 2003 which moved the tournament toward the end of the season. Sam Snead set a PGA Tour record for his 8 wins at the event, as well as his 1965 event, which made him the oldest player to win a PGA Tour event (both records still stand).
