After Austin Smotherman’s breakthrough victory at the Simmons Bank Open for the Snedeker Foundation, the Korn Ferry Tour proceeds to east Tennessee for this week’s Visit Knoxville Open, contested at venerable Holston Hills CC, which maintains a history of 94 years.
The Visit Knoxville Open is one of four original events that has been contested since the Korn Ferry Tour’s inaugural 1990 season, and the event returns after a one-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This will mark the event’s first playing at Holston Hills CC, a Donald Ross design which measures 7,028 yards and plays to par-70.
