All American Open (LPGA Tour) facts for kids

Kids Encyclopedia Facts

The All American Open was an important golf tournament for women. It was part of the LPGA Tour, which stands for Ladies Professional Golf Association. This tournament took place every year from 1943 to 1957. It was held at the Tam O'Shanter Country Club in Niles, Illinois.

The All American Open for women was special because it happened at the same time as a men's golf tournament, also called the All American Open, which was part of the PGA Tour. There were also amateur events happening at the same time. Some of the wins from before 1950 are officially counted as LPGA Tour victories.
