The Massachusetts Open is an open state golf tournament in Massachusetts, open to amateur and professional golfers. It was organized by Mass Golf (formerly the Massachusetts Golf Association). It has been played every year since 1905 (except for the war years) in various courses throughout the state. It was considered a PGA Tour event from 1916 to 1937. Previous winners include World Golf Hall of Fame players, Donald Ross, Walter Hagen, Leo Diegel, Francis Ouimet, Gene Sarazen, Byron Nelson, Horton Smith, and Julius Boros.
In 2008 and 2009, two PGA Tour players in the future won the event. Jim Renner won the show in 2008 at Stockbridge Golf Club and Rob Oppenheim won the event in 2009 at Belmont Country Club.
