The Michelob Championship at Kingsmill was a golf tournament on the PGA Tour from 1968 to 2002. It was played at Kingsmill Golf Club (River Course), Williamsburg, Virginia from 1981 to 2002 and at the Silverado Country Club in Napa, California from 1968 to 1980.
It was founded in 1968 as the Kaiser International Open Invitational. In its second year, 1969, it was played twice. In January, three days of rain washed out the final two rounds of play and leader Miller Barber was declared the winner but only half the prize money was distributed. The tournament was rescheduled for late October/early November and Jack Nicklaus was the winner.
The purse for the 2002 tournament was $3,700,000, with $666,000 going to the winner.
Since 2003, a women's LPGA event, the Michelob ULTRA Open at Kingsmill, has been played at the same location.
