The Telus Open was a golf tournament that was held in the Greater Montreal area in Quebec, Canada. First held in 2000 as the QuebecTel Open, it had one of the largest purses on the Canadian Tour and the biggest on the Quebec PGA Tour.[1] It was held for the final time in 2002.

All three editions of the Telus sponsored tournament resulted in a tie at the end of the 72-holes of regulation play, necessitating sudden-death playoffs to determine the winners.
