The Volvo Open was a golf tournament played in Sweden in 1970 and 1971. It was the first major international golf tournament played in Sweden. The 1970 event was played on two courses; the first 36 holes near Gothenburg on Wednesday and Thursday and the final 36 holes near on Saturday and Sunday. The 1971 event was played at the same time as the Dunlop Masters which meant that few of the leading British golfers played. The tournament was won by 50-year-old Kel Nagle.

The Scandinavian Enterprise Open was started in 1973 and was the first Swedish tournament on the European Tour.
