General Info

The first editions took place from 1972 and consisted of 24 tournaments at that time. The tour was originally conceived as a purely European series of events, with the exception of the 4 majors Masters, US Open, The Open Championship and PGA Championship. The majors, three of which are held in the USA and one in Great Britain, are still an integral part today.

Over the years, however, the tour has spread all over the world, with the event in Tunisia in 1982 being the first non-major outside Europe. Alongside the PGA Tour in America, the European Tour has become the most prestigious series in golf.

Since 2009, The Race to Dubai has been the official money ranking of the European Tour. As a rule, the top 110 players are eligible for the following season, which begins each November. The top 60 players on the ranking list also qualify for the final tournament, the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai. The last edition was won by Matthew Fitzpatrick from Sheffield. It was already his second win after 2016.
