# Buick Challenge

De Buick Challenge was een jaarlijks golftoernooi in de Verenigde Staten en maakte deel uit van de Amerikaanse PGA Tour. Het toernooi vond telkens plaats in de staat Georgia.

## Geschiedenis

In 1970 werd het toernooi opgericht als het Green Island Open Invitational en vond plaats op de Green Island Country Club in Columbus. In 1991 verhuisde het toernooi naar de Mountain View Course van de Callaway Gardens Resort in Pine Mountain. De laatste editie was in 2002.
Tussendoor werd de naam van het toernooi vier keer vernoemd: het Southern Open Invitational, in 1971, het Southern Open, in 1972, het Buick Southern Open, in 1990, en ten slotte de Buick Challenge, in 1995.
Het toernooirecord staat op de naam van Jonathan Byrd en dat deed hij in 2002, het laatste editie van dit toernooi.
