The Volvo Open was an invitational golf tournament played in Sweden in 1970 and 1971.
The participation of Jack Nicklaus, visiting Sweden for the second year in a row after an exhibition there in 1969, were the big attraction and he finished second, one stroke behind winner Jean Garaïalde.
Other world well-known players taking part were Peter Thomson and Lanny Wadkins.
The tournament took place at the same time as the Dunlop Masters which meant that only a few of the leading British golfers took part.
