Abstract/Contents:Announces in July of 2005 the 107th, and last, Western Open was held at the Cog Hill Golf and Country Club in Lemont, Illinois. Explains that "the PGA [Professional Golfers Association] tour, in an effort to breathe new life into the world of televised golf, has axed the Western Open." Profiles the Western Open, highlighting past venues and champions of the event. States that "the 1997 Motorola Western Open was the site of Tiger Woods being catapulted onto the celebrity A-List when hundreds in the gallery broke through the ropes to escort him to the eighteenth green at Cog Hill to capture the championship."
