History of the Championship
The Washington Open Invitational dates back to 1922. In that year, young Al Espinosa captured the crown at Yakima CC. Some big names have won this event over the years including the Zimmerman brothers, Al and Emery, along with Chuck Congdon, Al Mengert, Senior Tour Player Rick Acton and PGA Tour Player Fred Couples.
There have been some amazing champions since the event started. In 2021, Jeff Coston claimed his sixth Muckleshoot Casino Resort Washington Open Invitational title adding to his wins in 96, 99, 2001, 2010, and 2016 officially becoming the oldest and winningest PGA Professional in the Washington Open era with his six Championships spanning four decades. Chuck Congdon held the record for the most wins (39, 47, 50, 52, and 62) while Al Mengert holds the record for the most consecutive wins (63, 64, and 65). The current tournament record is held by PGA Professional Tim Feenstra of Broadmoor GC (2011) and PGA Member Jeff Gove (2012).

Tacoma Country & Golf Club
Tacoma Golf Club was established when a group of a dozen Scotsmen and Englishmen, employed by the English grain firm of Balfour, Guthrie, & Co., sought to play the game they left behind in their homelands. In 1904, the club acquired the seven-acre Lehman estate plus 160 acres of surrounding property on the eastern shore of American Lake, its current location. Over the years, the club has grown into one of the premier private golf clubs in the Northwest.
In its past, Tacoma Country & Golf Club was also home to Jim Barnes, who served as the club’s Head Professional from 1911 to 1914. Barnes went on to become a major figure in golf, winning the 1914, 1917, and 1919 Western Opens, the 1916 and 1919 PGA Championships, the 1921 U.S. Open, and the 1925 British Open.
Tacoma Country & Golf Club has a proud tradition of hosting major events, including the Northwest Open in 1915, 1925, 1931, 1966, 1979, and 1985. Additional significant tournaments include the PNW PGA Professional Championship in 1962 and 1996, the PNW PGA Pro-Am Championship in 1955 and 2004, the PNW PGA Pro-Assistant Championship in 1992, 2011 and 2024, the 74th Hudson Cup matches in 2022. This extensive history underscores the club’s reputation for excellence in the Pacific Northwest.
