Nashville Invitational
The Nashville Invitational, first played as the Nashville Open, was a PGA Tour event that was held at the Richland Country Club (established in 1901 as the Nashville Golf & Country Club) in Nashville, Tennessee from 1944 to 1946. The par-72 course was redesigned by Donald Ross in the 1930s. The 1945 tournament was Ben Hogan's first PGA Tour victory following his return from service in the United States Army Air Forces during World War II.[1][2]
