Colonial Country Club, Fort Worth, Texas

Established in 1936, Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas, hosts the annual Crowne Plaza Invitational. This par-70 course was designed by John Bredemus and stretches 7,204 yards along the north edge of the tranquil Trinity River. The course's founders were committed to having bentgrass greens on a Texas course. It hosted the 1941 U.S. Open, a 1970s Tournament Players Championship, and the 1991 Women's Open.

Colonial Country Club's tournament is home to the longest running, non-PGA Tour tournament held on the same course as a registered championship. Invitational events have fewer golfers (usually 125 compared to a full-field open with 156), though there are only five total invitational events in the PGA Tour.

The course has a unique tradition, too. The Champion's Choice is an invitation granted by former Invitational champions. It is offered to a pair of ineligible, yet deserving, young golfers. Only one golfer has ever won under the Champion's Choice in his selected year (David Stockton, 1967). The tournament was recently won by Boo Weekley with a 14-under.

Vegas Odds For Crowne Plaza Invitational

The field for the 2014 Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial is stacked and with that there are already a ton of PGA odds available at golf betting websites. Included in this stacked field is the world's new #1 ranked player, Adam Scott, but that doesn't mean he's automatically favored. In fact, Scott (16/1, +1600) is not the favorite but he's not too far off the lead either... that honor goes to both Matt Kuchar and Zach Johnson who are both posted with 12 to 1 odds (+1200) according to Bovada. With names like Jim Furyk (14/1, +1400), Jordan Spieth (16/1, +1600) and Dustin Johnson (22/1, +2200) in the field with other notables this tournament is all but decided and you won't want to miss it!

2013 Crowne Plaza Invitational

There were signs that Boo Weekley was ready to win on the 2013 PGA Tour earlier in the year when he finished runner up to Kevin Streelman back in March. He would have to wait a bit longer but would finally get his first win on the PGA Tour in the last five seasons at the 2013 Crowne Plaza Invitational.

Weekley fired all four rounds in the 60s, including playing the weekend 66-66. Weekley won by one shot over Matt Kuchar and by two shots over Zach Johnson. The win was the third of Weekley's career, but the prior two were at the same tournament when he won the RBC Heritage in consecutive years. Weekly was listed with 90/1 (+9000) odds before the tourney started.
