The Toshiba Classic is a golf tournament on the Champions Tour. Through 2014 it was played annually in March in Newport Beach, California at the Newport Beach Country Club but will be played in October beginning in 2015. Toshiba is the main sponsor of the tournament. The tournament was founded in 1995 as the Toshiba Senior Classic.
The longest playoff in the history of the Champions Tour occurred at the 1997 event when Bob Murphy defeated Jay Sigel on the ninth hole.[1][2] The record was broken the following year at the Royal Caribbean Classic.[3]
The purse for the 2015 tournament was $1,800,000, with $270,000 going to the winner.
