The Buick Open is a tournament that is part of the PGA Tour. Is held at Warwick Hills Golf and Country Club in Grand Blanc, Michigan around 80 miles north of Detroit which is categorized as a traditional golf course with a beautiful arranged landscape. Normally the purse is around $5,000,000 and that is why this tournament is so important for the major professional golfers. The court is a par 72 with almost 7200 yards and normally is played at June. This year the tournament is going to be played.

Every single hole of the Warwick has something interesting. Probably the most interesting one is the 17th hole which is a par 3. Its known for having one of the rowdiest galleries in professional golf. Fans often create chants directed at particular golfers, making it a fun place to watch the tournament.

The last seven years were showing interesting results. The winner of the 2008 and 2001 tournament was Kenny Perry, in 2007 was Brian Bateman, in 2006 and 2002 was Tiger Woods, in 2005 and 2004 was Vijay Singh and in 2003 was Jim Furyk. Normally the winners end the tournament with a -15 under par, but we have seen that is normal to see a -23 or -24 under par sometimes. In this case, there are so many birdies to wait for in this championship.

Since 1990, the average score of the winner at the Buick Open is 19-under par. Since the 2000 event, 94% of the players that completed 72 holes have finished ‘under’ par. Length has its advantages at Warwick Hills, but shot makers and players that can make ‘birdies in bunches’ and continue to be aggressive will contend.

Every body can win. A true example was the 408th ranked in the world Brian Bateman who pulled the victory with a -15 under par.

Buick became the first corporate sponsor of the PGA Tour in 1958, and to this day remains the largest and longest standing corporate sponsor as they celebrate a 50-year partnership with the PGA Tour.
