Champions Tour's Tradition moves to Shoal Creek

Golf Betting Lines

08/23/2010 - Birmingham, AL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Shoal Creek will host a Champions Tour major next season, it was announced Monday.

The Birmingham club, best known as the controversial host of the 1990 PGA Championship, will be the site of the re-named Regions Tradition.

Regions Financial became the new title sponsor for the tournament formerly known as the JELD-WEN Tradition. The company previously sponsored the Regions Charity Classic played in Hoover, Alabama.

The 2011 Tradition will be played May 2-8, making it the first of five majors on the schedule for the 50-and-over tour.

"We're very excited to move this major championship to Alabama and Shoal Creek," Champions Tour president Mike Stevens said in a release.

The official announcement was made at a press conference Monday attended by Lee Trevino, among others. Trevino won the 1984 PGA Championship at Shoal Creek.

The club is better-known, however, for the criticism it received about its all-white membership leading up to the '90 PGA Championship. Wayne Grady won the tournament.

This season's Tradition was won by Fred Funk on Sunday at Sunriver Resort in Oregon.
