The Greenbrier Classic

Summer's can't-miss event was hotter than ever!

The 2011 Greenbrier Classic kept fans pinned to their seats with a three-man sudden death playoff for the championship. Bill Haas, Bob Estes and Scott Stallings, tied at -10, returned to the tee of #18 for the tie-breaker. Thousands of fans surrounded the green and millions watched at home on CBS, waiting to see who would earn the signature Springhouse trophy and Greenbrier green jacket. Rookie Stallings, who sprinted to the tee, birdied the hole for his first win on the PGA TOUR.

The thrilling playoff was the perfect finale for the second annual event. Over 213,000 spectators, sponsors and volunteers attended the seven-day Classic which was executed in true Greenbrier style. With the green and white striped skybox awnings and Dorothy Draper's rhododendron fabric as well as fried green tomato sandwiches, peach iced tea and guest favorite peach and cream, all were treated to an exceptional Greenbrier experience.

Weekly badges for the Classic also included three phenomenal concerts which were enjoyed by over 158,000. Luke Bryan and Tim McGraw performed on Thursday and The Black Eyed Peas on Friday. More than 59,000 fans were on hand for the Miranda Lambert and Keith Urban concert on Saturday, which ended with both stars and fans singing West Virginia's unofficial state song, "Country Roads."

Many notable players including Phil Mickelson, Sergio Garcia, Camilo Villegas, Charles Howell III, John Daly, Kenny Perry and the resort's golf professional emeritus, Tom Watson, were among the 156-man field. The 2012 Ryder Cup captains, Davis Love III (United States) and Jose Maria Olazabal (Europe) also competed in the event.

The 2012 Greenbrier Classic will be held July 2-8, showcasing America's Resort during America's holiday, the 4^th of July.
