冠军锦标赛是美巡赛赛季开始的第一场比赛， 开始于1953年。 这个比赛和其他美巡赛比赛最大的特点是， 参赛的选手都是上一个赛季的各个比赛的冠军， 大概有40-50人参赛。 比赛一般在每年一月份的第一周。 从1999年起， 比赛定于夏威夷马尾岛的Kapalua 度假村。
Kapalau 球场
这个比赛是球员经过长时间休假后的第一次比赛。 赛场气氛比较轻松，不像其他比赛那样你死我活的。
比赛的赞助商历经改变， 最开始是纽约基金（MONY）， 从1975年到1990年。 德国的奔驰公司后来赞助了16年。 2010年， 比赛和韩国的SBS广播公司签订了10年的合同。 2011年， 韩国的现代公司拿到了命名权。
