The SBS Open at Turtle Bay was a golf tournament for professional women golfers. It was part of the LPGA Tour, which is a major series of golf competitions for women. The tournament happened every year from 2005 to 2009. It was played on the Palmer Course at Turtle Bay Resort in Oahu, Hawaii, USA.

The main sponsor for the tournament was SBS. This company is a big television and radio network from South Korea. They helped pay for the tournament to happen.

About the SBS Open

The SBS Open was a "stroke play" tournament. This means golfers counted every shot they took over 54 holes (three rounds of 18 holes). The golfer with the fewest total shots at the end won. The tournament usually took place in February.

Why Did the Tournament End?

After the 2009 tournament, SBS decided to stop being the sponsor. The LPGA Tour tried to find another company to pay for the event, but they couldn't. Because of this, the SBS Open at Turtle Bay tournament stopped happening.
