The Royal Caribbean Golf Classic was a golf tournament on the Champions Tour from 1987 to 2004. It was played in late January/early February in Key Biscayne, Florida at the Crandon Park Golf Club (1997-2004) and at The Links at Key Biscayne (1987-1996). It was played using the tradition stroke play format except in 2000 and 2001 when it used the Modified Stableford scoring system.
