The Welsh Golf Classic was a mens professional golf tournament on the European Tour, that was held annually in Wales from 1979 to 1982.
The inaugural event was held at Wenvoe Castle Golf Club near Cardiff, with the other three stagings taking place at Royal Porthcawl Golf Club in Mid Glamorgan.
The most notable winner was future two-time major championship winner Sandy Lyle.
In its final year the prize fund was £49,609, which was one of the smaller purses on the tour that year.

“One classic American landscape haunts all of American literature. It is a picture of Eden, perceived at the instant of history when corruption has just begun to set in. The serpent has shown his scaly head in the undergrowth. The apple gleams on the tree. The old drama of the Fall is ready to start all over again.”
—Jonathan Raban (b. 1942)
