The QBE Shootout[1] was a team golf tournament that took place on the PGA Tour as an unofficial money event. It was originally played during the off-season.
The event began in 1989, as the RMCC Invitational. It was hosted by golfer Greg Norman. The tournament was soon renamed the Shark Shootout after Norman's nickname, and has had several names since (see Winners below). The first eleven editions of the tournament were played at Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks, California (1989–99). It was then played for one year at Doral Resort & Spa, on the Norman designed Great White Course, before moving to Tiburón Golf Club in Naples, Florida in 2001, where it was played over the Norman designed Gold Course.[2]
In 2023, the PGA Tour replaced the QBE Shootout with the Grant Thornton Invitational, a 16-team event which features one male and one female pro golfer on each team.[3]
