Where is the Shriners Children's Open being held? Know all about the venue

The Shriners Children's Open is next up on the PGA Tour schedule. While the FedEx Cup season has concluded, the PGA Tour is still in progress. It has events most weekends of the year, including the one from 17-20 October. Some of the top PGA and Korn Ferry Tour players will take the course.

The event has been scheduled at TPC Summerlin, Las Vegas, Nevada. The venue hosts the only Tour event in Las Vegas. The course was created by architect Bobby Weed, who started making golf courses by transforming his father's soybean field into a driving range as a teenager. He studied agronomy in college and got his start as the assistant golf course superintendent at Amelia Island Plantation.

In two years, Weed became the superintendent at TPC Sawgrass, home to the iconic Players Championship. Shortly after, he became the construction superintendent for the whole TPC network.

The featured holes are in succession to close out the round. The 15th,16th, 17th, and 18th are the course's signature spots, with the 15th starting things off with a 320-yard par-four. The 16th is a par-five, the 17th hole is another par-three (roughly 200 yards), and the 18th is a 450-yard par-four. The course is a par-72, 7,243-yard location.

This is not the first venue for the event. The Shriners Children’s Open first began as the Panasonic Las Vegas Pro Celebrity Classic in 1983 before switching venues and eventually landing its current name.

Tom Kim has won the last two iterations of this tournament. Other notable champions include Bryson DeChambeau, Patrick Cantlay, Smylie Kaufman, Bob Estes, Jim Furyk (three times), Tiger Woods, Davis Love III, Paul Azinger, and Greg Norman.

Tom Kim aims for three straight Shriners Children's Open wins

Tom Kim won the 2022 Shriners Children's Open and did so again in 2023. He is back in the field and could be the first player to win this tournament thrice consecutively. Jim Furyk won it twice in a row as well.

Kim would also become the seventh player to win any PGA Tour tournament thrice consecutively. It's hard enough to defend a title, but even harder to repeat a successful defense. Steve Stricker was the last player to achieve this feat on the PGA Tour in 2009, 2010, and 2011.

Kim will be joined by Rickie Fowler, Joel Dahmen, Kevin Kisner, and many others this weekend.
