History
editDuring the first half of the tournament's history, Al Brosch had great success at the event, winning the event nine times. By the end of this period, the event was jokingly referred to as a "benefit" for Brosch as he so reliably picked up the first place cheque.[1]
In 1975, it transformed into a match play event.[2][3] The champion was exempt but otherwise the field was determined during a one-round qualifier.[4] In 1978, the local supermarket King Kullen began sponsoring the tournament. They helped provide a record $10,000 purse.[5] King Kullen became the title sponsor in 1980. The tournament has been subsequently sponsored by Union Savings Bank, TaylorMade, Cobra Golf, and Mastercard.
