History
The first tournament was held in 1990 and sponsored by NBC, which broadcasts the second and third round coverage on the weekend. Starting in 1991, Isuzu sponsored the tournament until 1998. American Century Investments is the current title sponsor since 1999.
From 1990 to 2003, the tournament used a stroke play format. Starting in 2004, the modified Stableford format has been used.
