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.

Famous quotes containing the words welsh, golf and/or classic:
“The populations of Pwllheli, Criccieth,
Portmadoc, Borth, Tremadoc, Penrhyndeudraeth,
Were all assembled. Criccieth’s mayor addressed them
First in good Welsh and then in fluent English,”
—Robert Graves (1895–1985)
“My attitude toward punctuation is that it ought to be as conventional as possible. The game of golf would lose a good deal if croquet mallets and billiard cues were allowed on the putting green. You ought to be able to show that you can do it a good deal better than anyone else with the regular tools before you have a license to bring in your own improvements.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“For years, they have all been dying
Out, the classic buck-and-wing men”
—James Dickey (b. 1923)
