Dutch Open (golf)

The Dutch Open, now again called the KLM Open, is an annual golf tournament played in the Netherlands, and has been part of the European Tour's schedule since the Tour was inaugurated in 1972.

History and sponsorship

Founded in 1912, the tournament began as the Dutch Open, before a variety of sponsors resulted in numerous name changes over the years. KLM was the longest title sponsor; lasting from 1981 to 1990, from 2004 to 2020, and from 2023 to recent. The tournament has been moved around the golfing calendar, but since 2010 it has been held in early September.

The event was cancelled in 2020 for the first time since 1945 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The event returned in 2021, with a new venue: Bernardus Golf in Cromvoirt. However the tournament name had been reverted back to the Dutch Open as KLM had decided to drop its title sponsorship duties. In 2023, after a short pause, KLM decided to lend its name back to the tournament.
