The Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial Country Club is cool in its own way. There's not a lot of flashiness at this Fort Worth, Texas, private club.

There's history in this tournament. It's been held, with two exceptions, every year since 1946. Flooding in the Trinity River prevented the event's playing in 1949 and the course hosted the Tournament Players Championship in 1975.

But that's just the beginning of the history. One of the greatest players to ever play the game, Ben Hogan, won this tournament five times and is why Colonial's nickname is Hogan's Alley. There have been many of great "name" winners here: Sam Snead, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Lee Trevino, Tom Watson among those.
