The '''WCT Tournament of Champions''' (also '''Shakeys Tournament of Champions''' for sponsorship purposes in 1977 and 1978) is a defunct men's [[tennis]] tournament that was held on the [[World Championship Tennis|WCT Tour]] from 1977–1990. It was held in [[Lakeway, Texas]] in 1977, [[Las Vegas Valley|Las Vegas]], [[Nevada]] in 1978, [[Dorado, Puerto Rico|Dorado Beach, Puerto Rico]] in 1979, and [[Forest Hills, Queens|Forest Hills]], [[New York City]] from 1980–1990.

The tournament commenced in early May each year. [[Ivan Lendl]] won the event a record four times. The US achieved a consistent level of success at the event, with seven of the thirteen tournaments won by Americans. Between 1982 and 1985 it was a major ranking tournament as part of the [[Grand Prix Super Series]].

The 1990 edition was the final tournament played in the 23-year history of World Championship Tennis as the organization announced its dissolution the day after the final.<ref>{{cite news|title=WCT Announces Its Dissolution|url=https://www.orlandosentinel.com/1990/08/28/wct-announces-its-dissolution/|work=Orlando Sentinel|date=August 28, 1990|author=Nancy Gay}}</ref>
