Legends Reno-Tahoe Open PGA Golf Tournament

The Legends Reno-Tahoe Open kicks off on August 3 and runs through August 9 at Montrêux Golf & Country Club in Reno. This 2009 edition of the Reno-Tahoe Open is the only PGA tour event in northern Nevada. The title sponsor is the Legends at Sparks Marina, a large entertainment and retail complex that had its ribbon cutting in June.

The Reno-Tahoe Open is a non-profit event and more than just golf. Numerous sponsors will be offering a variety of activities, including the family friendly Kidz Par Tee Zone, Vino 100 Wine Walk, and the Fiesta Loco on #16 party zone. Learn about what's going to be happening on the What's New web page. Another way for golf fans to have fun and support a good cause is to participate in Birdies for Charity. Make a pledge and guess how many birdies the players will make during the tournament. Your donation is tax deductible and you have a shot at winning a yet-to-be-announced grand prize.

This event supports numerous charities through the Reno-Tahoe Open Foundation. This year's featured charity is The Children's Cabinet.
