PAST CHAMPIONS – HOW THEY FARED
The tournament’s previous three champions obviously have an affinity for the Boeing Classic and TPC Snoqualmie Ridge.

In 2007 Champion Denis Watson won the largest playoff in PGA TOUR history by putting to win in a seven man-playoff.
In 2005, inaugural Champion David Eger, shot two-under on Sunday (70-72-70).
TOURNAMENT ATTENDANCE
With beautiful summer weather throughout the 2009 Boeing Classic week of events, tournament records were broken with almost 70,000 in attendance. 30,000 of these spectators came out to watch on Championship Sunday.
