In the spring of 1940, Timpanogos Golf Club unveiled its first 18-hole routing—a bold new layout ready to test the best players in Utah. That May, the course hosted the inaugural Greater Provo Open, drawing top amateur and professional talent to the “Garden City” for a celebration of competition and community. Over the next eight decades, the Provo Open became more than just a tournament—it became a proving ground. Future Major champions first sharpened their skills here, fading legends made inspired returns, and blue-collar grinders walked away with the trophy and a place in Utah golf history. Through wars, economic downturns, and multiple course renovations, the event not only survived but thrived—anchored by a commitment to championship golf and a deeper mission: giving back.

Today, more than 80 years later, the Provo Open continues to bring top-tier golf to the heart of Utah every summer, supported by title sponsor Primo Golf and the Noorda College of Osteopathic Medicine, who together champion elite competition while delivering exceptional medical care to children in need. What began as a way to showcase a new golf course has evolved into something far greater: a celebration of perseverance, community, and purpose. The Provo Open is not just about golf—it’s about making a difference and inspiring hope in dreams, no matter how big or small.
