A look at the history of the Procore Championship
The event now known as the Procore Championship was founded in 2007 as the Frys Electronics Open. The inaugural event was played at Grayhawk Golf Club's Raptor Course in Scottsdale, Arizona, and was won by Mike Weir.
Frys Electronics continued as the event's title sponsor through 2015, although the event moved to California in 2010. The event was played at CordeValle Golf Club in San Martin until 2014 and at Silverado Resort in Napa Valley since 2015.
Between 2016 and 2020, the Safeway supermarket chain took on the role of title sponsor, while starting in 2021, the cybersecurity company Fortinet Inc. took over.
By 2024, the PGA Tour had to find a new title sponsor for its inaugural event, the FedEx Cup Fall, and found it in Procore Technologies, a construction management software-as-a-service company.
Two players have won what is now called the Procore Championship twice, Brendan Steele and Max Homa. Interestingly, they both did it in consecutive editions, Steele in 2016 and 2017, and Homa in 2021 and 2022.
The overall record for the event is 262, set by Cameron Beckman when he won in 2008. A year later, Troy Matteson, Rickie Fowler and Jamie Lovemark tied it, with Matteson eventually winning in a playoff.
The record for par is 21 under, set by Stewart Cink when he won in 2020. Sahith Theegala matched it to win in 2023.
The event kicks off the FedEx Cup Fall, which is played primarily by PGA Tour members who have not yet secured a card for the 2025 season.
