The Reno-Tahoe Open is a professional golf tournament on the PGA Tour in northwestern Nevada, played between July 30th - August 5th, 2012. Founded in 1999, it is an alternate event played annually in August at the Montrêux Golf and Country Club, located midway between Reno and Lake Tahoe. Opened in 1997, the par-72 course was designed by Jack Nicklaus and plays at 7,472 yards (6,832 m); its average elevation is 5,600 feet (1,700 m) above sea level with an elevation change of 800 feet (240 m). The Reno-Tahoe Open gained its first title sponsor in 2007, the Legends at Sparks Marina, In 2010, the tournament name was returned to the Reno-Tahoe Open.

Until 2010, the tournament was played the same week as the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, in August. For its first three years, it had a full field of 156 players, while the World Golf Championship event had a field of about 40. When the WGC event expanded to about 80 players in 2002, the Reno-Tahoe Open's field was reduced to 132 players. In 2010, the PGA Tour announced that Reno-Tahoe Open would be played several weeks earlier, opposite the British Open, from July 15-18. This lasted only one year as it returned to the first week of August in 2011, opposite the WGC-Bridgestone.
