European tour comes to the Vic Open

The European tour has entered into a co-sanctioning deal to bring their golfers to the Vic Open in February.

Golf's European Tour will have a two-event Australian swing early next year after agreeing to co-sanction the Vic Open with the PGA Tour of Australasia.

The deal means Europe's men will join their counterparts from the Ladies European Tour (LET) in competing in the Vic Open, which boasts men's and women's tournaments, at 13th Beach Golf Links in Barwon Heads from February 7-10.

The European men will then be able to cross the country to play the World Super 6 Perth tournament the following week.

The last time the European Tour went back-to-back on Australian soil was the 2004 Heineken Classic at Royal Melbourne and the following week's ANZ Championship in NSW.

The LET will be entering the third year of a Vic Open co-sanctioning deal with the ALPG.
