The PGA Tour Champions has returned to the Wakonda Club in Des Moines for today’s (Friday’s) opening round of the Principal Charity Classic. It is a brand new look for the course which underwent eight million dollars in renovations since the end of last year’s tournament and Principal Financial CEO Daniel Houston thanked the club members for their patience.

Houston says the tournament raises money for a variety of charities.

The tournament runs through Sunday and the winner will take home 300 thousand dollars of a two million dollar purse.
