The Yomiuri Open was a professional
golf tournament on the
Japan Golf Tour. Founded in 1970 as the Wizard Tournament, a 36-hole invitational tournament,[1] it was played at Hashimoto Country Club in
Wakayama until 1979 when it moved to Yomiuri Country Club in
Hyōgo. With the move, it also became a full 72-hole tour event, having been extended to 54 holes in 1976, and adopted its new name.[2] It remained at Yomiuri every year except for 1996, when it was played at Wakasu Golf Links in
Tokyo. In 2007 it merged with the
Mizuno Open to form the
Gateway to the Open Mizuno Open Yomiuri Classic.
