Small Business Connection Championship

The Small Business Connection Championship was a golf tournament on the Web.com Tour. It was played for the first time as the Chiquita Classic in July 2010 at TPC River's Bend in Cincinnati, Ohio.[1] Tommy Gainey won the inaugural event in 2010 by 3 strokes at 27-under-par.

From 2013 to 2015, it was part of the Web.com Tour Finals and the field consisted of the top 75 players from the Web.Com Tour money list and the players ranked 126 to 200 on the PGA Tour's money list at the start of the Finals.[2] The tournament was moved to River Run Country Club in Davidson, North Carolina from 2013 onward and the purse was set at US$1,000,000, with $180,000 going to the winner.

gollark: Somewhat, sure.
gollark: Like regular money, it's mostly only useful due to the consensus that it "has value".
gollark: And they may not actually want gold.
gollark: The *point* of having either is that other people will exchange them for things you want.
gollark: Not infinitely, but a few times maybe? But for both of them, the actual value-if-we-didn't-have-preexisting-notions-of-value-tied-to-them is mostly irrelevant.
