The Legends Reno-Tahoe Open is a golf tournament on the PGA Tour. It is played annually in August in Reno, Nevada. The tournament is held at the Montrêux Golf and Country Club
The tournament takes place every year in the same week as the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational. For its first three years, it had a full 156 player field (the World Golf Championship event had a field of about 40). When the World Golf Championship event went to a larger field (about 80 players) in 2002, the Legends Reno-Tahoe Open's field was reduced to 132 players.
The 2007 purse was $3,000,000, with $540,000 going to the winner. The tournament was founded in 1999.
