  • Met Open Championship Presented by Callaway 103Rdaugust 21 - 23, 2018 Wykagyl Country Club History of the Met Open Championship Presented by Callaway
    Met Open Championship Presented by Callaway 103rdAugust 21 - 23, 2018 Wykagyl Country Club History of the Met Open Championship Presented by Callaway From its inception in 1905 through the 1940 renewal, the Met Open was considered one of the most prestigious events in golf, won by the likes of Gene Sarazen, Walter Hagen, Johnny Farrell, Tommy Armour, Paul Runyan, Byron Nelson, and Craig Wood, in addition to the brothers Alex and Macdonald Smith (who together captured seven Met Opens, with Alex winning a record four times). The second edition of the championship was hosted and sponsored by Hollywood Golf Club, when George Low won in 1906. After an eight-year hiatus overlapping World War II, the Met Open became more of a regional championship, won by many of the top local club professionals, among them Claude Harmon, Jimmy Wright, Jim Albus, David Glenz, Bobby Heins and Darrell Kestner, not to mention such storied amateurs as Chet Sanok, Jerry Courville Sr., George Zahringer III, Jim McGovern, Johnson Wagner, and Andrew Svoboda. The purse was raised to a record $150,000 in 2007, giving the championship added importance. In 2015 the MGA celebrated a major milestone in marking the championship’s 100th playing, won by Ben Polland at Winged Foot Golf Club. In 2017, The MGA welcomed a new Championship Partner, Callaway Golf. Callaway Golf is the presenting sponsor of the Met Open Championship. Eligibility The competition is open to golfers who are: 1. Past MGA Open Champions. 2. PGA Members in good standing in the Metropolitan and New Jersey PGA Sections.

    A Chronicle of the Philadelphia Section PGA and its Members by Peter C. Trenham 1980 to 1989 1980 The Section had another first as the new Senior PGA Tour held its first event at the Atlantic City CC in June. 1981 Dick Smith, Sr. won the 60 th Philadelphia PGA Section Championship at the Cavaliers Country Club in October. 1982 Dick Smith, Sr. won his fourth Philadelphia PGA Section Championship at Huntingdon Valley C.C. in September. 1983 Charlie Bolling won the South African Open in late January. 1984 Rick Osberg tied for third in the PGA Club Professional Championship in October. 1985 Ed Dougherty won the PGA Club Professional Championship in October. 1986 In December Dick Smith, Sr. was elected secretary of the PGA of America at the national meeting in Indianapolis. 1987 The Philadelphia pros defeated the Middle Atlantic Section to make it 12 wins for Philadelphia against 6 losses. 1988 The Philadelphia PGA Section Championship prize money was $100,000 for the first time. 1989 In April Jimmy Booros won on the PGA Tour at the Deposit Guaranty Golf Classic. 1980 A new decade began with golf booming. The PGA Tour purses were rapidly increasing and most of the tournaments were televised. There were concerns that there was too much golf being shown on TV. Playing the PGA Tour was a distant thought for most club pros. People were retiring earlier and more women were taking up the game so the rounds of golf were in- creasing each year. Senior golf was becoming very popular and the Phila- delphia Section was in on another first, as the Atlantic City Country Club would host the first official tournament of the new Senior PGA Tour.
