Reno Tahoe OPEN
The Reno-Tahoe Open is a professional golf tournament on the PGA Tour. Founded in 1999, it is played annually in July, south of Reno, Nevada. The tournament is held at the Montrêux Golf and Country Club, located midway between Reno and Lake Tahoe. The course was designed by Jack Nicklaus and opened in 1997; its average elevation is 5,600 feet (1,707 m) above sea level. In 2007 the Reno-Tahoe Open gained its first title sponsor, the Legends at Sparks Marina. In 2010, the tournament changed its name back to the Reno-Tahoe Open.
Until 2010, the tournament has taken place every year in the same week as the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational in August. For its first three years, it had a full field of 156 players, while the World Golf Championship event had a field of about 40. When the WGC event expanded to about 80 players in 2002, the Reno-Tahoe Open's field was reduced to 132 players. In 2010 the PGA Tour announced that the Reno-Tahoe Open would now occur concurrent to the British Open and take place in July. In 2010, the Reno-Tahoe Open occurred from July 15-18.
The 2010 purse was $3,000,000 with the winner, Matt Bettencourt, earning the champion's prize of $540,000.
