The PGA West Stadium Course has hosted many important golf tournaments and is considered one of the most challenging course in America.
The PGA West Stadium Course has long been known as the course that was too tough for the professionals. In 1987 it made its first and only appearance as a PGA Tour venue in the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic. After creating a challenging course setup in what is normally one of the PGA Tour's easier tournaments, the tour pros refused to return in 1988 successfully signing a petition to get it removed as one of the host courses.[1][2][3]
