The Ginn sur Mer Classic was a PGA Tour golf tournament that lasted for two years, 2007 and 2008. It was announced in June 2007 as a replacement for the Running Horse Golf Championship, another proposed new tournament that collapsed before its first outing. The PGA Tour and Ginn Resorts have agreed to a five year deal under which the tournament will be played at Ginn Resorts properties.
In 2007, it was played at Tesoro Club in Port St. Lucie, Florida as part of a plan to rotate the event among Ginn properties. The plan was to relocate it to the Ginn Sur Mer resort then under construction on Grand Bahama island in The Bahamas.[1] The 2007 purse was US$4,500,000 and it was a PGA Tour Fall Series event.
In 2008, the purse was be $4,600,000 and The Conservatory Course at the Ginn Hammock Beach Resort will host the event. The 2008 event was won by Ryan Palmer in wet, windy, rainy conditions, after he made a ten foot birdie putt on the final hole.[2]
The tournament was cancelled after the 2008 season.
