Chrysler Classic of Tucson

The Chrysler Classic of Tucson is a golf tournament on the PGA Tour. It is played annually in February in Tucson, Arizona. The tournament is held at the Omni Tucson National Golf Resort.

The 2006 purse was $3,000,000, with $540,000 going to the winner.

Since the event's inception in 1945, it has been played at a series of courses in Tucson. From 1945-62, it was at El Rio Golf & Country Club (now known as El Rio Golf Course since the City bought it in 1968); in 1963 and again in 1964, the event moved to Forty Niner Country Club. In 1965, the event began its lengthy relationship with its present location, known at the time as Tucson National Golf Club. It was played there annually until 1980, with the exception of 1979 when it was played at Randolph Park Golf Course. From 1981-86 the event stayed at Randolph Park (and was briefly a match play event from 1984-86). In 1987 and 1988 the event was played at the TPC at Starr Pass before not being contested in 1989.

When the event resumed in 1990, it was played at two courses each year from that year's event until 1996. One used every year was the TPC at Starr Pass (renamed Starr Pass Golf Club before the 1993 event). The TPC at Starr Pass shared time with Randolph Park in 1990; from 1991-96 the Tucson National GC was the other course used. In 1997, the event changed to the more traditional format of 72 holes played at only one course, and has been played since that year at the renamed Omni Tucson National Golf Resort & Spa. In recent years, this tournament has played as an opposite field event to the Accenture Match Play Tournament. Because the top 64 ranked players in the world are invited to the match play tournament, it has weakened the field considerably for Tucson. However, the Accenture tournament will play in Tuscon in 2007, as a "merging" of sorts between the two tournaments.
