The Bahamas National Open was a professional golf tournament on the Professional Golfers’ Association of America (PGA) Tour in 1970 and 1971. It replaced the West End Classic, which had been a satellite Latin-American Tour stop, as the PGA’s tournament in the Bahamas.
In 1970, the tournament was played as the Bahama Islands Open over the Emerald Course at Kings Inn & Golf Club in Freeport, Grand Bahamas and won by Doug Sanders in a playoff.
