In the Spring of 1940, the newly opened 18 holes at Timpanogos wanted to showcase their new routing for the State’s best golfers. The Greater Provo Open was first held in the “Garden City” in May of 1940. Over the next 80 years, the Provo Open would see future stars that would go on to win Major Championships, aging legends return to capture the glory they once had and no name blue collar workers capture its coveted title. The Provo Open grew through World Wars, Recessions and multiple course renovations, always keeping its close ties to championship golf and giving back to underprivileged children.

Now, 80 plus years later the Provo Open still brings championship golf to Provo every summer. Title sponsor Primo Golf and the Noorda College of Osteopathic Medicine anchor the backbone for high level golf and exceptional medical care for Provo’s children.

Where did Snoopy come from? In the late 1980’s, the Provo Open reached new heights when the Ray and Tye Noorda Family began providing medical care for children in third world countries through the Open’s Charity. A local Dermatologist, Rick Parkinson, asked his 17 Mile Drive neighbor to create a logo for the Provo Open that would bring happiness to the children around the world that were being touched by its outreach. His neighbor and close friend, Charles Shulz then created Snoopy putting on his doghouse in a one of kind print that is still used today. For decades, Snoopy has been the face of the Provo Open and its mission of providing health and happiness to children all over the world.
