TUCSON, Ariz. – The PGA Tour Champions was back in Arizona for the 2024 Cologuard Classic but at La Paloma Country Club for the first time, where Joe Durant found the winner’s circle for the first time in three years.
Plenty of big names were there, with defending tournament champion David Toms, defending Charles Schwab Cup Championship winner Steve Stricker playing alongside Stewart Cink, Retief Goosen, Ernie Els, Padraig Harrington, Steven Alker, Miguel Angel Jimenez and Cologuard ambassador and tournament host Jerry Kelly. There were also some big names not in attendance.
This marked the fourth event on the tour in 2024 and the first of three on the West Coast. The total purse was $2,200,000 with the winner earning $330,000. The Jack Nicklaus design has three nine-hole courses, and the tournament used parts of each to make a composite course.
