This was the eighth and final edition of the championship contested in Marana, the host since 2007. The tournament moved back to California in 2015, held in early May at TPC Harding Park in San Francisco, and went to Austin, Texas, in March 2016.

This was also the final edition in which the entire tournament was single-elimination, as the first two rounds were replaced by round-robin play in 2015, with sixteen players advancing to the knock-out bracket on the weekend.
