The Carling Tournament was a professional golf tournament played in the United Kingdom from 1960 to 1962.
The first event, in 1960, was called the Hammonds-Carling Jubilee Tournament and was held at Pannal Golf Club, Harrogate, Yorkshire. It was won by Dai Rees, who won the first prize of £550.
The 1961 event was called the Carling-Caledonian Tournament and was held at Longniddry Golf Club, East Lothian, Scotland. It was won by Christy O'Connor Snr, who took home the first prize of £1,000. The event was the last before the selection of the British 1961 Ryder Cup team.[1]
In 1962 the event was called the Carling-Lancastrian Tournament and was held at Fairhaven Golf Club, Lytham St Annes, Lancashire. It was won by Kel Nagle, who won the first prize of £1,000.
