The Verizon Heritage Golf Tournament is an annual Hilton Head event, filled with storied tradition and legacy. In the more than 40 years since it's inception, the tournament has played host to such golf legends as Nicklaus, Palmer, Norman and Love III. Since 1969, the tournament purse has increased from $100,000 to over 5.7 million in 2009. Past tournament winners have a combined 375 PGA wins, including 66 major championships.
The history of the Verizon Heritage dates back to Thanksgiving weekend, November 27-30, 1969, when innovative Sea Pines designer Charles Fraser gave that first tournament on the newly created Harbour Town Golf Links a traditional twist by calling it the Heritage Classic. That strong tradition continues with the next playing of Verizon Heritage golf tournament.
Back then, not too many people were aware of Hilton Head's location, and may even have struggled to find it on the map. But then the best in the game were amongst the first to commit, Arnold Palmer, and the equally great Jack Nicklaus – who helped design Harbour Town along with young Pete Dye.
Then, the good fortune continued for the Heritage and Harbour Town Golf Links when Palmer went on to win that initial tournament, his first victory in 14 months. This result led the media to do the rest by generating volumes of complimentary copy in reference to Arnold's victory, Dye's superb new links course, as well as Hilton Head Island.
