ABOUT THE BOEING CLASSIC

The Boeing Classic, a PGA TOUR Champions event, was formed in 2005 by Virginia Mason and the Seattle Seahawks. It has been contested at The Club at Snoqualmie Ridge each year. The tournament is operated by Virginia Mason Franciscan Health and benefits the Benaroya Research Institute and The First Tee of Greater Seattle.

The Club at Snoqualmie Ridge, which was designed by Jack Nicklaus and originally opened in 1999, was voted the “Most Beautiful Clubhouse” in Washington state by Architectural Digest in 2018 for its “craftsman-inspired decor…and expansive windows.” The Club at Snoqualmie Ridge’s par-72, 7,264-yard championship layout sits at the base of the Cascade Mountains and is renowned for its stunning terrain and amazing wildlife, which includes an eagle sanctuary on the 14th hole.
