I think the title for the longest goes to the AT&T (aka The Crosby). In what was billed the longest-running golf tournament in
the world, the 1998 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-am started January 29 and finished August 17. I remember some players could not be bothered to play the final round but Phil Mickelson made sure he had his calendar free and won by a shot. As it was, the tournament was reduced to 54 holes from its typical 72.
