Sam Snead Festival

The Sam Snead Festival was an unofficial money golf tournament, played from 1948 to 1961, at The Greenbrier in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia.[1] It attracted many PGA Tour players and was won by longtime Greenbrier club pro Sam Snead six times.

The tournament began as the Greenbrier Pro-Am in 1948,[2] and was a 36-hole pro-amateur event with 18 invited top professionals of the day. Prizes were awarded for both the professional medal total and the pro-am best ball total. The event went to four rounds the next year; the first 36 holes with just the professionals, the amateurs joining in for the final 36 holes.
