[1] The challenge event was done in one day, over 18 holes, and is usually held on a Tuesday.

The event was handicapped to provide all competitors a fair and equal chance of succeeding.

The PGA Tour players played the course at its full length, while the Champions Tour players hit from tee positions that made the course shorter and the LPGA players from even shorter tee positions.

The event supported the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption, a charity established by the founder of Wendy's, the fast food restaurant that sponsored the tournament.

[2] ABC televised the event until 2009, showing the tournament tape-delayed on a weekend in December just before Christmas, with the first nine holes broadcast on Saturday, and the final nine holes on Sunday.
