The Baton Rouge Open Invitational, first played as The Baton Rouge Open, was a PGA Tour event that was played in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in the 1950s and early 1960s. It was played at the Baton Rouge Country Club every year except 1961; that year course renovations were taking place and the event was played at Sherwood Forest Country Club.
