Australian Open (golf)The Australian Open is one of the principal annual golf tournaments on the PGA Tour of Australasia. The event was first played in 1904 and currently takes place each November. It is one of the "national opens" which have a special status in the Official World Golf Rankings's points system, with a minimum level of points guaranteed for the winner regardless of the strength of the field. Although the prize money is now fairly modest compared to many other golf tournaments, especially on the PGA Tour and the PGA European Tour, the Australian Open's postition as the national open of one of the traditional golf powers means that its roll of honour for the years from the mid 1950s to the late 1980s includes many of the most distinguished international golfers of that era, including several Americans. However, in recent years less leading international players have entered and the winners list has come to be dominated by Australians again. Winners
