The Knoxville Open has been a Korn Ferry Tour event since 1990, making the cut through several iterations of the PGA TOUR development league.

The tournament is played at Holston Hills Country Club. Its course, built in 1927, is a Donald Ross design. Over the years, it has hosted a number of events, including the nascent PGA TOUR’s Knoxville Invitational (1945 – 1946). Byron Nelson won in 1945 as part of his historic 18-win season.

The Korn Ferry Tour event has had some notable winners, including Jeff Maggert, Kirk Triplett, Patton Kizzire and Talor Gooch.
