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.
