Three New Tournaments on the European Tour in 2014

As the European Tour resumes its schedule after the festive break, golf fans will have a busy season to look forward to in 2014.

With 48 tournaments on the European schedule, fans of European golf can expect to see an event almost every week – and to add to the excitement the European Tour has added three events to this year’s schedule.  This week we take a look at the latest tournaments on the European circuit.

Made In Denmark Tournament – August 14th to 17th
The Himmerland Golf Resort will host the first-ever Made In Denmark Tournament this season, with golfers travelling to the city of Aalborg to compete for the € 1.5 million first prize. The tournament, which is enjoying enthusiastic support from local golfing hero Thomas Bjorn, will take place at Himmerland’s newly renovated Backtee Course.

D + D Real Czech Masters – August 21st to 24th
A week after the European Tour’s newest Danish tournament, the second new addition to the 2014 schedule takes place near Prague in the Czech Republic.

The newly built Albatross Golf Club hosts the first-ever D + D Real Czech Masters, offering the top professional golfers in Europe the opportunity to break in the course for competitive play.  The Albatross Course is ranked number one in the Czech Republic by GolfDigest and with a €1 million first prize this tournament is sure to put Prague on the world golfing map.

The Nedbank Golf Challenge – December 5th to 8th
With a total purse over € 6 million, the Nedbank Golf Challenge has been a feature of festive season golf since its launch in 1981. The South African tournament became part of the European Tour in the 2014 season, with selected players being invited to the Gary Player Country Club at the Sun City resort for a weekend of golf in the warm weather of the African summer. This popular event is likely to become a fixture on the European Tour in the coming seasons.
