The Kansai Open Golf Championship (関西オープンゴルフ選手権競技, Kansai ōpun gorufu sensyuken kyōgi) is a professional golf tournament held in the Kansai region of Japan. Founded in 1926, one year before the Japan Open Golf Championship, it was the first professional tournament to be organised in Japan.[1] It was an event on the Japan Golf Tour from 1973 to 1991 and has been back on the tour schedule since 2009. The 2019 event was the 85th edition.
