The Strachan Open was a professional snooker tournament.
The tournament was held once, in 1992, and was a ranking tournament.
The following season, four so-called Minor Ranking Events were held. These earned only one tenth of the ranking points of most other ranking tournaments, and were designed to encourage the large number of new snooker professionals. Most of the top sixteen players did not bother to enter. Three of the four minor ranking events were Strachan Challenges. The fourth was the Benson & Hedges Championship.
The Strachan Challenges continued for one more season, but did not earn ranking points.
