The Frank Sinatra Open Invitational was a PGA Tour event that was played at the Canyon Club in Palm Springs, California.
The five-day event was designed to allow the heavyweights in golf and show business to come together and pay tribute to the icon who meant so much to both industries.
The four-day golf tournament was followed by a black-tie gala in the ballroom of the Palm Springs Riviera Hotel.

First place prize money was $9,000, which was in the upper echelon for winner's earnings in 1963.
