Tampa's 20th Annual CHAMPIONS TOUR'S event regularly attracts a strong field from the CHAMPIONS TOUR'S top money-winners. Under new sponsorship, 2004 marked the first Outback Steakhouse Pro-Am. The event takes place at the 6,638-yard, par-71 Tournament Players Club of Tampa Bay in February and features celebrity amateurs. This stadium golf course allows spectators to view multiple holes at once.
The Pro-Am is broadcast nationally by the Golf Channel on Friday and NBC Sports Saturday and Sunday of tournament week. This event generates a $32 million economic impact locally.
The tournament attracts crowds of more than 90,000 people. In 2006 professionals competed for a $ 1.6 million purse. Jerry Pate won the 2006 tournament. Past champions include Hale Irwin, Bob Gilder, Jim Albus, Jack Nicklaus, Mike Hill, Bob Charles, Dale Douglass, Jim Colbert, Rocky Thompson, Larry Nelson, Dave Stockton and Doug Tewell.
