B.C. Open, Former PGA Tour Tournament

The B.C. Open is a former tournament on the PGA Tour, played from the early 1970s though the mid 2000-aughts. The "B.C." in the title stands for Broome County, that being the county in New York where the tournament was played. The event took place annually in Endicott, N.Y., which is also the hometown of cartoonist Johnny Hart, who drew the comic strip called B.C. But the tournament name refers to the county, not the comic strip.

First played: 1973

Last played: 2006

Also known as: It was always the B.C. Open.

Golf Courses: The home course throughout the event's history, with one exception, was En-Joie Golf Course in Endicott, N.Y. The one exception was the tournament's final year, when flooding forced the event away from En-Joie and to Turning Stone Resort & Casino in Verona. Ironically, after the B.C. Open ended following the 2006 event, Turning Stone became the site of a different PGA Tour tournament the next year, and later a Champions Tour event.
