The Greenbrier American Express Championship was a professional golf tournament on the Senior PGA Tour (now PGA Tour Champions). Held from 1985 through 1987 in West Virginia, the 54-hole event was played in July at The Greenbrier resort near White Sulphur Springs.
The inaugural event was played Thursday through Saturday, starting on the Fourth of July.[1] Don January won the first two editions, the second in a sudden-death playoff.[2] Bruce Crampton opened with a 63 and won the final tournament in 1987 by six strokes, tying January's scoring record of 200 (–16).[3][4]
The PGA Tour returned to the resort in 2010 with its Greenbrier Classic.
