The '''Jamaica Open''' is a golf tournament held in Jamaica. Founded in 1953, it was held annually until 1995 when lack of sponsorship led to a ten-year hiatus. The tournament returned in 2006, and then from 2008 to 2012. After another brief interlude, the 50th Jamaica Open was held in 2017 and it has continued to be staged annually since then.<ref name=hiatus1/><ref name=hiatus2/>
Between 1958 and 1963, the Jamaica Open was a fixture on the PGA-sponsored Caribbean Tour, at which time it was frequented by many of the leading American professionals. Since it was withdrawn from the Caribbean Tour, it has been a smaller, more local tournament.<ref>{{cite news |title=Jamaica Open to be discontinued |first=Alva |last=Ramsay |newspaper=The Sunday Gleaner |location=Kingston, Jamaica |page=7 |date=August 11, 1963 |url=https://newspaperarchive.com/kingston-gleaner-aug-11-1963-p-7/ |via=NewspaperArchive |accessdate=May 6, 2020 |url-access=subscription}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Jamaica Golf Open to be continued |first=Alva |last=Ramsay |newspaper=The Daily Gleaner |location=Kingston, Jamaica |page=24 |date=April 16, 1964 |url=https://newspaperarchive.com/kingston-gleaner-apr-16-1964-p-24/ |via=NewspaperArchive |accessdate=May 6, 2020 |url-access=subscription}}</ref>
