Tournament golf at Quicksilver Golf Club The Quicksilver Classic was the third event to be staged at Quicksilver Golf Club, which has held both a Nike Tour event and a Senior PGA Tour event in the past. The course went under new management early in the decade, and was able to bring course standards back to par with other tournament capable courses. Having hosted such players as the great Lee Trevino, Quicksilver Golf Club was able to stage a tournament. The Quicksilver Classic would be staged in the "third tier" of professional golf, the NGA Hooters Tour.
