Continuing with my theme from last week on Fastpass to History, I’m going to look at another sporting event that Walt Disney World used to host….the Walt Disney World Golf Classic. This event ran for 40-plus years from the park’s opening in 1971 to 2012. In fact, one could argue that the first “non-park related event” that Walt Disney World hosted was the 1971 Walt Disney World Invitational held December 2nd through December 5th, 1971. This event was won by Jack Nicklaus, who then went on to win the 1972 and 1973 invitationals as well.
