The Argentine Open, steeped in rich history, stands as one of the oldest national championships, having been established back in 1905. The first golfer to etch his name in its history was Mungo Park Jr., who came from a notable family of champions. His father, Willie Park, was the winner of the inaugural Open Championship in 1860 and took the title again in 1863 and 1866. His uncle, also named Mungo, clinched the Open in 1874, while his brother, Willie Park Jr., secured victories in 1887 and 1889.
Mungo Jr. spent a significant portion of his career in Argentina, and he triumphed in the Argentine Open on three occasions.
Since the turn of the millennium, the Argentine Open has been part of various prestigious professional tours. It has been included on the European Tour, the Korn Ferry (formerly known as the Nationwide Tour), the Tour de las Americas, the Challenge Tour, the PGA Tour Latin America, and Argentina’s own professional circuit.
