SAS Masters

The SAS Masters is an annual golf tournament on the European Tour which is played in Sweden at the end of July or the beginning of August each year. As of 2008, it is the only European Tour event in Scandinavia. The Swedish stop on the European Tour schedule was inaugurated in 1973 and has had several names over the years. In 2007 the prize fund was €1,600,000, which was less than the prize funds of the majority European Tour events played in Europe, but more than a few of them, and also more than most of the Tour's co-sanctioned events played in other continents.
