Shriners Children's Open at TPC Summerlin The Hills South

by Ryan Rose

The Shriners Children's Open is a PGA Tour event held annually at TPC Summerlin in The Hills South village of Summerlin. As one of the longest running tournaments on the PGA Tour schedule, it brings world class professional golf to the neighborhood each fall and generates significant charitable impact for Shriners Children's hospitals.

What Is the History of the Shriners Children's Open?

The tournament dates back to 1983 when it debuted as the Las Vegas Invitational, originally played across multiple courses in the valley. It moved to TPC Summerlin when the course opened in 1991, establishing a permanent home that has hosted the event for over three decades. The tournament has undergone several name changes, transitioning from the Las Vegas Invitational to the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open and then to its current title, the Shriners Children's Open.

The event's most famous moment came in 1996 when Tiger Woods won his first PGA Tour victory here during the Las Vegas Invitational. That win launched one of the most dominant careers in sports history. The tournament has continued to attract top PGA Tour talent to Summerlin each October.

What Makes the Shriners Open Special for The Hills South?

For residents of The Hills South, tournament week transforms the neighborhood into a PGA Tour destination. TPC Summerlin's par 72, 7,243 yard layout sits directly adjacent to the guard gated Tournament Hills and Country Club Hills communities, meaning some homeowners can watch professional golf from their backyards.

The charitable impact extends well beyond the course. The Shriners Children's Open raises millions of dollars for Shriners Children's hospitals, which provide specialized pediatric care regardless of a family's ability to pay.

How Does the Tournament Affect Local Real Estate?

Hosting a PGA Tour event annually provides lasting prestige for The Hills South. National television coverage showcases the Red Rock Canyon backdrop and Summerlin's desert landscape to millions of viewers each year.
