The Northern Trust Open, formerly known as the Nissan Open, and originally known as the Los Angeles Open, is a regular golf tournament on the PGA Tour.

Photograph caption dated January 8, 1963 reads, "Arnold Palmer takes a careful line on a putt at the 14th hole Monday at Rancho Golf Course - The gallery, composed mostly of his loyal fans, comes to a cathedral-quiet at a critical point in the L.A. Open Tournament."
