The Swedish PGA Championship for men is a golf tournament played annually in Sweden since 1970. It is an event on the Swedish Golf Tour schedule since 1984 and the Nordic Golf League since 1999.[1][2][3] From its beginning in 1970, it was a championship for members of the PGA of Sweden. Since 1986, the tournament has been open for foreign players. The tournament was part of the Challenge Tour from 1990 to 1996 and from 2001 to 2005.

Since 1984, when tournament professionals had been dominating the event for several years, there is also a Swedish PGA Club Pro Championship, limited to club professionals in Sweden, with separate competitions for men, women and senior men categories.

The Swedish PGA Championship for women has been played since 1997.
