The Shriners Hospitals for Children Open was played October 22nd to October 25th 2015. The par was 71. This tournament is mainly to raise money for the Shriners Hospitals all over the country. Businesses will give a donation to the tournament and the tournament will put their business or company on a sign for the viewing audience to see. There was over 125 sponsors for this tournament. The total purse for this tournament was $6,400,000. That is the highest purse that I have seen in a long time. The winner got $1,152,000 of the total purse. Smylie Kauffman ended up winning the tournament with a final score of fifteen under par. He posted an incredible score of ten under on his final round to make a great comeback to win the tournament. That was his first ever win on the PGA Tour. He has been close to winning in past tournaments but he never could seal the deal. There were multiple players that were only one shot behind Smylie that were tied for second place. Those players include Patton Kizzire, Cameron Tringale, Jason Bohn, Alex Cejka, Kevin Na, and Brett Stegmaier. Patton Kizzire had a pretty god day also but he fell one shot short. He finished up the weekend with a score of 63 which is eight under par. Some past winners are Ben Martin, Webb Simpson, and Ryan Moore. The same tournament will be held October 31st to November 6th of this year. The next tournament for this year will be the CIMB Classic.
