The Soudal Open is the national open tournament of Belgium and since 1978, has been part of the DP World Tour (formerly known as the European Tour) calendar. The Belgian Open has been played since 1910, albeit unsteadily.

Although it has not been played every year, the event currently known as the Soudal Open has attracted important players from all eras. Arnaud Massy, Walter Hagen, Roberto De Vicenzo and Jose Maria Olazabal played and won there.

Only one local player has managed to win the tournament. He is Flory Van Donck, winner of 60 professional tournaments, including five Belgian Open titles (1939, 1946, 1947, 1947, 1953 and 1956).

The 2024 edition of the event features LIV Golf star Thomas Pieters, who was one of the driving forces behind the event's revival in 2022. Pieters invested in the tournament through his venture PietersProductions.

Only two of the 15 local players in the field made the cut, Pieters and amateur Nathan Cossement. Among those who were unable to play over the weekend were Nicolas Colsaerts and Adrien Dumont de Chassart.
