The Bahamas Great Exuma Classic is a golf tournament on the Korn Ferry Tour, currently played on The Ocean Course at Atlantis on Atlantis Paradise Island in the Bahamas.
History
[edit]It is one of two Korn Ferry Tour events in the Bahamas, along with The Bahamas Great Abaco Classic. Both events were first played in January 2017 starting on a Sunday and finishing on a Wednesday, rather than the standard Thursday–Sunday schedule.[1]
Due to high winds in the inaugural event, the cut line fell at 11-over-par 155, the highest in Web.com Tour history.[2] The par-4 12th hole played to a stroke average of 5.008, making it the hardest in tour history relative to par.[3]
