Humana Challenge, Professional golf tournament in La Quinta, California
The Humana Challenge is a professional golf tournament held across multiple courses in the Coachella Valley in January, including the PGA West complex and La Quinta Country Club. The event spans four rounds and attracts top-tier competitors.
The tournament was founded in 1960 as the Palm Springs Golf Classic and became the Bob Hope Classic in 1965. It later took on the Humana Challenge name.
The tournament draws entertainment industry figures and raises funds for health programs and regional charitable causes through Impact Through Golf. Visitors witness how the event connects with local community support efforts.
Spectators can enjoy viewing from multiple locations across the courses, with marked pathways connecting different holes and facilities throughout the grounds. The experience improves at strategic spots offering shade and refreshment areas.
Nick Dunlap made history in 2024 by becoming the first amateur golfer to win this PGA Tour event. This victory marked a remarkable moment for golfers outside professional ranks.
