2009 AT&T Classic
The AT&T Classic, formerly known as the BellSouth Classic, is a regular golf tournament on the PGA Tour annual schedule. The event boasted a purse of $5.4 million in 2007, with the winner pocketing $972 000.
The 2008 AT&T Classic will be held at the TPC at Sugarloaf from 12 to 18 May 2008. The tournament regularly features a strong field of 120 PGA Tour professional golfers, with past winners including such golfing greats as Jack Nicklaus, Hale Irwin and Tom Kite, as well as modern-day superstars Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and South Africa’s Retief Goosen.
AT&T (formerly American Telephone & Telegraph), which acquired BellSouth in 2006, is the largest provider of both local and long distance telephone services, wireless service and DSL Internet access in the United States. It is now the main title sponsor of the AT&T Classic golf tournament.
This event is not to be confused with a Champions Tour tournament – the AT&T Champions Classic in Valencia, California – which bore the “AT&T Classic” name in 2006, prior to AT&T’s acquisition of BellSouth.
For many years the golf tournament formerly known as the BellSouth Classic was held mostly in May. Then, from 1999 to 2006, it was played the week before the Masters Tournament. In 2007, the AT&T Classic was held over the third weekend in May, one week after the Players Championship and the event will continue in this slot in the Tour schedule.
The AT&T Classic is a part of the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup competition and there are 25 000 FedEx Cup points on offer over the course of the tournament.
