The Tunisian Open is a men's professional golf tournament which is currently played on the Alps Tour.

History

The tournament was part of the European Tour's official schedule from 1982 to 1985, and was the European Tour's first venture outside Europe. The Moroccan Open was also on the Tour's schedule for a time, but since 2001 the tour has departed from North Africa to focus its international expansion on the established golf markets of Australasia and South Africa and the rapidly emerging Asian market. In 1985 the prize fund was {{currency|70,000|GBP}}, which was the third smallest in a European Tour official money event that season.

In 2015 and 2016, it featured on the Alps Tour's schedule.{{cite web |url=https://www.ftg.org.tn/tunisian-golf-open-confirmed-on-el-kantoui-golf-course-in-sousse/ |title=Tunisian Golf Open confirmed on El Kantoui Golf Course in Sousse |publisher=Fédération Tunisienne de Golf |language=fr |date=13 April 2015 |access-date=22 March 2025}}{{cite web |url=https://tunisie.co/article/5805/golf/reserver/tunisian-golf-open-312611 |title=Tunisian Golf Open du 28 avril au 1er mai au Golf El Kantaoui Sousse |trans-title=Tunisian Golf Open from April 28 to May 1 at Golf El Kantaoui Sousse |language=fr |website=tunisie.co |date=25 April 2016 |access-date=22 March 2025}} Having not been played between 2017 and 2023, the event returned on the Alps Tour in 2024.{{cite web |url=https://live-alps.ocs-software.com/the-alps-tour-returns-to-tunisia/ |title=The Alps Tour returns to Tunisia |publisher=Alps Tour |date=22 March 2024 |access-date=22 March 2025}}
