The Long Beach Open was a golf tournament on the PGA Tour. It was held in Long Beach, California at the Virginia Country Club from 1926 to 1930 and at the Lakewood Country Club from 1949 to 1951.

In 1957, the Long Beach Open was a PGA Satellite Event. At this event, Charlie Sifford became the first African-American golfer to enter and win against white players in a PGA co-sponsored tournament.[1][2]

In 1989, a revived Long Beach Open came to the El Dorado and Recreation Park golf courses. Since 2006, Skylinks has been on pre-cut rotation, replacing Recreation Park.

Troy Grant at the age of 15 is the youngest ever to qualify and make the pro cut.
