Bahamas National Open
The Bahamas National Open was a golf tournament on the PGA Tour in 1970 and 1971. It replaced the West End Classic, which had been a satellite Latin-American Tour stop, as the PGA's tournament in the Bahamas.[1]
In 1970, the tournament was played as the Bahama Islands Open over the Emerald Course at Kings Inn & Golf Club in Freeport, Bahamas and won by Doug Sanders in a playoff.[2] The following year, it was hosted at Lucayan Country Club in Freeport, Bahamas and won by Bob Goalby.[3] The tournament appeared on the tour schedule again in 1972, but was cancelled.[4]
