Baden-Württemberg Open 2007

Apparently, this tournament format is common in Sweden and other countries, it is the first time I heard about it in Germany though. The Baden-Württemberg Open 2007 is a tournament in which amateurs can compete against pros. To be eligible for the tournament as an amateur, you have to play a handicap of no greater than -2,0. From the pro side, Tino Schuster (you’ll probably remember him from the 2006 British Open where he was leading in round 2) already signaled his participation. Apart from him participants will be golf professionals, top amateurs and invited amateurs.

The tournament will be held at the Drei Thermen Golfresort from 28.05.2007 to the 31.05.2007, the event is supported both by the PGA Baden-Württemberg and the Golfverband Baden-Württemberg. The winning purse will be EUR 20.000.
