- The Kemper Open was a golf tournament on the PGA Tour from 1968 to 2006. Perhaps more so than any other "regular" PGA Tour stop, the event wandered about, not just from course to course within a given metropolitan area, but along the East Coast. Originally sponsored by the Kemper Corporation, the inaugural event was played in 1968 at Pleasant Valley Country Club in Sutton, Massachusetts, before moving to the Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina the following year, where it stayed through 1979. (The Wells Fargo Championship is now held in Charlotte.) The event moved in 1980 to Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland, a suburb northwest of Washington, D.C., and to TPC at Avenel in 1987 in neighboring Potomac. Kemper Insurance dropped out as sponsor after the 2002 edition and was replaced by Friedman Billings Ramsey, which renamed the event the FBR Capital Open for a single year in 2003. Booz Allen Hamilton became the main sponsor in 2004, with the tournament being titled the Booz Allen Classic. The event returned to Congressional for a year in 2005 to accommodate renovations at Avenel. The purse in 2006 was $5.0 million, with $900,000 going to the winner; due to rain delays it concluded on Tuesday without a gallery. In 1992, Washington Redskins quarterback Mark Rypien, the reigning Super Bowl MVP, was given a sponsor's exemption into the tournament, but shot rounds of 80 and 91 and missed the cut by 28 strokes. As the Kemper Open, it was often played two or three weeks prior to the U.S. Open, making it a prime tune-up event; later it was either the week prior or after and many top players skipped it.. For 2007, the PGA Tour announced that it would reschedule the event for the fall, and Booz Allen declined to renew its sponsorship. The fall date was in turn canceled to make way for the new AT&T National, to take place at the same time as the Classic had. Also in 2006, the tournament ended on Tuesday due to persistent storms in the D.C. area. The conclusion of what turned out to be the final Booz Allen Classic was not televised. A new format (invitation only), new host for the tournament (Tiger Woods), and a return to Congressional Country Club marked the July 2007 stop in Washington for the FedEx Cup, the AT&T National. For record-keeping purposes, it is not a "successor" tournament officially, even though it is the "new" tour stop in the same region. During the 1970s, the Kemper Open was among the highest purses on tour, exceeding the majors. (en)
- Le Booz Allen Classic était un tournoi du PGA Tour. Originellement connu sous le nom Kemper Open, le tournoi a vu sa première édition se dérouler en 1968 à Sutton dans le Massachusetts avant de rejoindre la ville de Charlotte. De 1980 à 1987, c'est la ville de Bethesda qui abrite le tournoi avant de rejoindre Potomac. La dernière édition a connu un événement exceptionnel : le tournoi s'est terminé un mardi en raisons des orages qui se tenaient sur la région. C'était la première fois depuis 1968 qu'un tournoi du PGA Tour se terminait un mardi. (fr)
- De Boos Allen Classic was een golftoernooi van de Amerikaanse PGA Tour van 1968 tot en met 2006. Het toernooi begon in 1968 als de Kemper Classic en veranderde vanaf 2000 door toedoen van sponsors een paar keer van naam. De laatste editie was in 2006. Jarenlang werd het Kemper Open gespeeld in de week na het US Open. De topspelers die daar de hele week gespeeld hadden, namen de week daarop vrij, en mindere spelers kregen dan de kans mee te doen. Vandaar dat onder de winnaars niet veel bekende namen voorkomen. In 2006 was het prijzengeld $ 5.000.000. Het toernooi werd gestart op dinsdag. Er was zoveel wind dat het toernooi toch gestopt moest worden. Het bleek achteraf de laatste editie te zijn. In 2007 begon de AT&T National, wat een 'Invitational' toernooi is. Van 1979 tot en met 1992 werd ook het gespeeld. (nl)
