Philippine Open (golf)

The Philippine Open is an annual men's professional golf tournament, currently played on the Asian Tour.

History The Philippine Open was first held in Caloocan in 1913 and was sponsored by the Manila Golf Club. It was moved to the Iloilo Golf and Country Club in 1935, where it remained until 1959. In 1960, the tournament was transferred to the Wack Wack Golf and Country Club. In the late 1980s, the National Golf Association of the Philippines (NGAP) took over the organization of the tournament and held it in other courses in the country.

The event was held in a variety of different golf courses around the Philippines and was an official money event on the Asian Tour from 1999 to 2015, having previously been a founding tournament on the Asia Golf Circuit. In March 2006 the NGAP granted all marketing rights for the tournament from 2006 to 2010 to the Asian Tour, which announced an aspiration to increase the prize fund from the 2006 level of US$200,000 to $1 million. In 2014, the prize fund was $300,000.

The 1967 event included a full-field of 160 players.

In 2003, the Wack Wack Golf and Country Club attempted to host an independent tournament called the "Wack Wack Philippine Open Golf Championship" scheduled for. The NGAP attempted to enforce its sole right to host a tournament with the "Philippine Open" name. The tournament was not held that year.

There has been two disruptions in the 2010s; the 2013 edition when it was cancelled due to Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda), and in 2016 due to time constraints with the organizers wanting a venue to commit to a multi-year hosting.

After the 2019 edition was held, the COVID-19 pandemic occurred causing a years long hiatus. The Philippine Open eventually returned in 2025.
