The Western Open was a professional golf tournament in the United States, for most of its history an event on the PGA Tour. The tournament's founding in 1899 actually pre-dated the start of the Tour, which is generally dated from 1916, the year the PGA of America was founded. The Western Open, organized by the Western Golf Association, was first played in September 1899 at the Glen View Club in Golf, Illinois the week preceding the U.S. Open. At the time of its final edition in 2006, it was the third-oldest active PGA Tour tournament, after The Open (1860) and U.S. Open (1895). The tournament was held a total of 103 times over the course of 108 years. The event was not held in 1900, nor in 1918 because of World War I, and not from 1943-1945 because of World War II.

  • Western Open var den näst äldsta golftävlingen i USA för professionella herrar. Den spelades första gången 1899 och det året var prissumman 150 dollar varav segraren fick 50 dollar. Till en början var det mest professionella golfspelare från Storbritannien som vann tävlingen och den betraktades under en lång tid som en major men den blev det aldrig officiellt. Det var en stående tävling på PGA Tour. Western Open har alltid hållits på banor omkring Chicago men sedan 1993 så hålls den alltid på Cog Hill Golf and Country Club. Den spelades varje år i slutet av juni eller början av juli. (sv)
