- The Esso Golden Tournament was a golf tournament on the British PGA circuit from 1961 to 1967. It was played in a round-robin format at the Moor Park Golf Club in Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire, England. The event was sponsored by Esso, and was cancelled in 1968 when they terminated their sponsorship following disagreements with the PGA. There were 15 competitors in each tournament who played each of the other 14 in an 18-hole match play contest. Most matches were played as a three-ball with three players playing a match against one another, each player playing two distinct matches. Some matches were played as ordinary singles match play. Two points were awarded for each match won while halved matches earned one point. Prize money for each tournament was £5,700. Players received £20 for each point won, a total of £4,200 for the 210 matches. In addition, the first four in the final table received prize money of £750, £400, £250 and £100. A similar round-robin tournament, the Penfold Professional Golf League, was played in 1938 and 1939, while the Goodall Palm Beach Round Robin, was played on the PGA Tour from 1938 to 1957. Round-robin tournaments became popular at this time with the Royal Gold Tournament contested in 1962 and Hennessy Round-robin Tournament being played in 1964. (en)
- Het Esso Golden Tournament was een golftoernooi in Engeland. Het werd georganiseerd door de Britse PGA en vond plaats op de Moor Park Golf Club in Rickmansworth in Hertfordshire. De formule was round-robin. De eerste editie was in 1961, er deden vijftien spelers mee, de beste tien uit Groot Brittannië en vijf genodigden: Kel Nagle, Harold Henning, Peter Thomson, John Jacobs en Dave Thomas. Bij dit toernooi kregen de spelers £ 100 startgeld. Ze speelden voor een prijzengeld van £ 5700. De winnaar kreeg £ 750. Voor een hole-in-one op hole 18 werd £ 10.000 uitgeloofd. De eerste editie werd gewonnen door Dave Thomas en Peter Thomson, die beiden 21 punten hadden. De round-robin wordt niet vaak gespeeld en was in die tijd populair in de Verenigde Staten. De bedoeling is dat iedere speler tegen de andere 14 moest spelen. Een gewonnen partij leverde twee punten op en £ 40. Dagelijks werden twee rondes gespeeld. In 1963 speelde Harold Henning de eerste dag tegen Christy O'Connor. Hij verloor op hole 17 met 2&1, maar op weg naar het clubhuis speelden ze toch maar even hole 18. Henning maakte een hole-in-one en won de ter beschikking gestelde £ 10.000. (nl)
