Labatt Open

The Labatt Open was a golf event on the PGA Tour that was played in Canada from 1953 to 1957. It was sponsored by the Labatt Brewing Company, and played at several different venues.[1] It was canceled after the 1957 season when suitable dates in 1958 could not be agreed.[2]

Billy Casper won the first of his 51 PGA Tour wins at this event in 1956.[3]
