# Golden Swing

The Golden Swing is a series of four tennis tournaments that are part of the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) tour, held every February in Latin America. The four tournaments have been termed the ‘Golden Swing’ in honour of Chilean Olympic gold medalists Nicolas Massú and Fernando González.
The series began in 2001, linking four tournaments in Latin America: Viña del Mar (Chile), Buenos Aires (Argentina), Costa do Sauípe (Brazil) and Acapulco (Mexico).
Since the series started in 2001, no player has won more than two titles in one year.

## Tournaments

In 2010, the Chile Open was moved from Viña del Mar to Santiago. However, the tournament returned to Viña de Mar only two years later. In 2015, the tournament was bought by investors in Colombia, and moved to Quito, Ecuador. The Ecuador Open's last event was 2018, after which it ceased due to lack of funding, and moved to Córdoba, Argentina.
In 2012, the Brasil Open was moved from Costa do Sauípe to São Paulo and transitioned from outdoors to indoors.
Starting in 2014, the Mexican Open switched from clay to hard courts, serving as a lead-up to the first ATP World Tour Masters 1000 event of the season in Indian Wells, United States. The same year, Brazilian investors purchased the ATP 500 level tournament from Memphis which was played on indoor hard courts. They moved it to Rio de Janeiro as the new anchor tournament of the Golden Swing.
In 2019, the Brasil Open was scrapped, and replaced with the Chile Open, with a new edition in 2020. Six years passed between editions of an ATP tournament in Chile.
