The Father/Son Challenge was an annual two person golf tournament for PGA Tour and Champions Tour golfers and (usually) their sons that was played at Champions Gate Golf Resort in Florida from 1995 to 2008. The event's name became somewhat inaccurate as Fuzzy Zoeller teamed up with his daughter Gretchen in 2005 and Arnold Palmer partnered one of his grandsons. The junior team members ranged from middle school age up, and included a few with tour golf careers of their own.
The tournament was played over 36 holes for the Willie Park Trophy, in memory of the father and son British Open champions Willie Park Snr and Willie Park Jnr. The 2006 the prize fund was US$1 million. The tournament was jointly owned by IMG and NBC Sports. The field comprised eighteen teams, and the fathers needed to have won a major championship to be eligible. Many of the world's greatest golfers took part including Jack Nicklaus.
The 2009 edition of the tournament was cancelled due to the withdrawal of the sponsor, and hopes to revive the event in 2010 came to nothing.
