The PGA golf event held annually at the TPC Summerlin golf course has a new name — Shriners Children’s Open.
It was previously known as the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open.
In 2007, the tournament announced Shriners Hospitals for Children would take over the operations of the tournament. Entertainer Justin Timberlake hosted the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open 2008-13. In 2013, the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open became a part of the FedEx Cup playoffs.
The pro golfers will be competing for the $7 million purse.
