(Redirected from Ebel European Masters Swiss Open)
The 'Omega European Masters' is the Swiss stop on professional men's golf's European Tour, currently played in early September each year. It is the successor to the Swiss Open, which was first played in 1923. In the 1971 event Baldovino Dassu became the first player to score 60 for 18 holes on the European circuit. The European Masters and the Swiss Open have been played at the Crans-Sur-Sierre Golf Club in Valais since at least 1971. The 2006 prize fund was €2,000,000, which is middling for a European Tour event.
In May, 2006, Michelle Wie, who has a sponsorship contract with Omega, accepted an invitation from the company to play in the 2006 tournament, making her first attempt to play on the European Tour.[1] At the September event she shot 78-79 to finish 15 over par over two rounds and finished in last place among the 156 competitors. European Tour executive director George O’Grady said on September 8, 2006 that Wie's appearance was "an experiment" and he would need "a lot of persuading" before inviting Wie to participate in such an event again, despite record crowds estimated at 9,500[2] [3].
