The World Series of Golf was a professional golf tournament on the PGA Tour, played at Firestone Country Club in Akron, Ohio. From its inception in 1962 through 1975, it was an unofficial 36-hole event matching the winners of the four major championships.[2] In 1976 it became an official PGA Tour event; the field expanded to 20 players and the event was lengthened to 72 holes.[3] the victory and $100,000 winner's share went to Nicklaus.[4] The field was increased to over 40 players in 1983,[5][6] though it never exceeded 50; NEC began sponsoring the event in 1984.
The tournament was last played in 1998, but was replaced by the newly created WGC-NEC Invitational in 1999.[7] Firestone Country Club had hosted that tournament (now known as the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational) every year until 2019, except for 2002.
