Welcome to CaddyBytes.com’s Tournament's page for the 2012 Regions Tradition at Shoal Creek golf tournament - formerly knows as the 'The Tradition' golf tournament.  

The Regions Tradition golf tournament is in it's 21st anniversary as a former Senior now Champions Tour major championship.  This is the final Senior Major professional golf tournament of the year.  (The three other Champions Tour major championships are the Senior U.S. and British Opens, and Senior PGA Championship).

The Tradition began in 1989 by founder and real estate developer Lyle Anderson.  The Jack Nicklaus designed Golf Club at Desert Mountain - a Lyle Anderson property - hosted the tournament from it's inception in 1989 until 2002 as the weather was unpredictable in the spring at that elevation at Desert Mountain (just north of Phoenix) with the tournament being played every year in the first week of April before The Masters.  (Jack Nicklaus won at his first two appearances in 1990 and 91 and used it for a 'tune up' to Augusta back then.)

The Tradition then moved to another Anderson property - to nearby Superstition Mountain just north of Phoenix for 2002 and '03' seasons until it moved to The Reserve Vineyards near Portland and arrived at this venue beginning in 2007 at The Crosswater golf club in Bend Oregon and now being played in the Spring at Shoal Creek in Alabama.  

  There have been some great champions in 19 years of The Tradition a list that includes Jack Nicklaus (four times), Lee Trevino, Ray Floyd, Gil Morgan (twice), Don Bies, Graham Marsh, Jim Thorpe, Doug Tewell, Craig Stadler, Loren Roberts, Edwardo Romero, Tom Shaw, Tom Kite, Tom Watson, Mark McNulty, Mike Reid won it in 2010 with Fred Funk defending here at Shoal Creek in 2011.
