The Turning Stone Resort Championship is a PGA Tour professional golf tournament. It was played for the first time from September 20 to September 23 in 2007. It is hosted by the Atunyote Golf Club at Turning Stone Resort & Casino, in Verona in Upstate New York. In 2007, it was the first of the seven Fall Series events played after the conclusion of the FedEx Cup, which was also introduced the same year. The prize fund was $6 million.[1] The tournament's timing in the PGA Tour calendar changed in 2008. The 2008 Fall Series will begin before the conclusion of the FedEx Cup with the Viking Classic. After the Fall Series takes a week off for The Tour Championship, it will resume with the Turning Stone Championship.

John Rollins won the 2006 B.C. Open, which was held at the course, when Endicott Golf Club (now the site of a Champions Tour event) was unavailable because of severe weather.
