When it was played at Cog Hill

The Western Open was held at Cog Hill Golf & Country Club (Dubsdread Course), Lemont, Illinois from:

➡️ 1991 through 2006

It was traditionally played in early July each year.

✅ About the “Advil Western Open” name

The tournament’s title sponsors changed several times, and the name shifted accordingly (e.g., Beatrice Western Open, Motorola Western Open, etc.).

Advil served as a presenting sponsor, so in some media/player references it appeared as the “Advil Western Open at Cog Hill”, even though “Advil” was not the primary title sponsor in most official materials. This occurred in the mid-1990s, when Advil was a major partner of the event.
