The St. Petersburg Women's Open was a golf tournament on the LPGA Tour from 1954 to 1989.[1][2][3][4] It was played at three different courses in the St. Petersburg, Florida area.

LPGA Hall of Fame member Kathy Whitworth won the tournament five times (1965, 1968–70, and 1974). Only three other players have won the same LPGA tournament on five occasions.[5]
