(The Wells Fargo Championship is now held in Charlotte.) The event moved in 1980 to Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland, a suburb northwest of Washington, D.C., and to TPC at Avenel in 1987 in neighboring Potomac.

Booz Allen Hamilton became the main sponsor in 2004, with the tourname ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
