SK Telecom Open

The SK Telecom Open is an annual professional golf tournament hosted in South Korea and sponsored by the Korean cell phone company SK Telecom.

The tournament was inaugurated in June 1997 as "SK Telecom Classic", and renamed in 2001.

The tenth edition, held 4–7 May 2006, was shortened to 54 holes because of rain.

It has been staged at five different venues since its inception: Pinx Golf Club, Sky 72 Golf Club, BA Vista, IIdong Lake and the Lakeside Golf Clubs.
