The Black Desert Resort Golf Course was designed by hall of famer Tom Weiskopf who won 16 PGA Tour titles in his career including the 1973 Open Championship. The Black Desert Course was the final course designed by Weiskopf. The course is built around volcanic formations that are common outside of St. George, Utah. “We are thrilled to partner with Black Desert Resort in bringing PGA TOUR golf to the state of Utah,” said PGA TOUR Executive Vice President Tyler Dennis. “In introducing the PGA TOUR – and the LPGA the following year – to a new market, we look forward to collaborating with the Black Desert Resort team in their vision for professional golf in the Greater Zion community. Competitively, our members will enjoy the challenges and incredible views that define the Black Desert Golf Course.”
The PGA Tour was first in Utah in 1930 when World Golf Hall of Fame member Harry “Lighthorse” Cooper won the Salt Lake Open. The PGA Tour was back in 1937 in Salt Lake City when Al Zimmerman won the first of back-to-back Utah Open titles. The Western Open, now known as the BMW Championship, was in Utah in 1947 when Johnny Palmer won the event. In 1948, Utah hosted the Utah Open Invitational and it was Lloyd Mangrum winning in a playoff against George Fazio. The event was played three more times, in 1958, 1960 and 1963. The 1963 tournament was the last time the PGA Tour played an event in the state. It is worth noting that the Korn Ferry Tour has been in Utah since 1990 with the Utah Championship taking place every season.
