After the Stadium Course hosted the 1987 Bob Hope Classic, tour players petitioned to have it removed from the rotation. It did not return to the event until 2016.
The new Stadium Course was initially slated to host the 1991 Ryder Cup, but the matches were moved to Dye's Kiawah Island course because of time-zone considerations. The Stadium instead hosted the 1986 Skins Game and the 1987 Bob Hope Chrysler Classic.

A value no source confirmed is left out; nothing is estimated. The light in the room is the sun's real position on the last day of a recorded visit.
