The Safeway Open is a professional golf tournament, part of the PGA Tour. It was first staged in 2007 as the Fry's Electronics Open at Grayhawk Golf Club's Raptor Course in Scottsdale, Arizona. It was renamed to the Frys.com Open in 2008, and moved to California in 2010, at CordeValle Golf Club in San Martin. In October 2014, part of the PGA Tour's 2015 season, the tournament moved to the North course of Silverado Country Club in Napa. The purse was $5 million for the tournament's first seven years and was raised to $6 million for the 2015 season.
Beginning with the October 2016 tournament, part of the PGA Tour's 2017 season, the primary sponsor is Safeway Inc., and the tournament has been renamed the Safeway Open. The tournament will continue at Silverado through 2020, with Safeway sponsorship.
Silverado's North Course hosted an annual event on the PGA Tour from 1968 through 1980, the first nine editions as the Kaiser International Open Invitational. In 1977, that event was renamed the Anheuser-Busch Golf Classic and in 1981 it moved east to Kingsmill in Williamsburg, Virginia, where it was played through 2002.
