The Pakistan Open is a golf tournament organised by the Pakistan Golf Federation that was first played in 1967. In 2006 and 2007 was part of the Asian Tour schedule.
Pakistan has a number of golf courses from pre and post independence. As the Asian Tour continued to expand, Pakistan was chosen to host a tournament. In 2006 it was part of the Asian Tour schedule for the first time, on an initial three-year deal, however the 2008 Open was postponed due to trouble within Pakistan at the time the event was scheduled to go ahead.
Chris Rodgers of England won the inaugural event, and in doing so claiming his maiden Asian Tour title. He finished 15 under par, 4 ahead of Indians Jeev Milkha Singh and Amandeep Johl. In 2007 Malaysia’s Airil Rizman claimed his maiden Asian Tour title with a two stroke triumph over Scott Hend of Australia.
