Tournament: Palmetto Championship at Congaree, June 10-13, 2021
Course: Congaree Golf Club, par 71, 7,655 yards. About an hour north of Savannah and halfway between Savannah and Charleston. Truly in the middle of nowhere.
Purse: $7.3 million total, $1.34 million to the winner
Defending Champ: Aye, there’s the rub. This tournament is a one-time substitute for the RBC Canadian Open. Which due to COVID-19 concerns was canceled in 2021. Of course it was also canceled in 2020 during the earlier days of the pandemic. But this isn’t the RBC Canadian Open - so is there a defending champion?
