The '''Bob Hope British Classic''' was the original and most often used name of a [[European Tour]] [[golf]] tournament which was played in England every year but one from 1980 to 1991. It had six different names in total. The English born American entertainer [[Bob Hope]] was one of the most prominent celebrity friends of golf, and is a member of the [[World Golf Hall of Fame]]. All of the tournaments except the first and the last were played at [[Moor Park Golf Club]] in Hertfordshire, just to the north of London. The best known winner was the German future [[Official World Golf Ranking|World Number 1]] [[Bernhard Langer]]. In 1991 the prize fund was £252,370, which was below average for a European Tour event at that time.
