Omega European Masters Purse, Prize Money And Field
The DP World Tour returns to Crans-sur-Sierre in Switzerland, but who is playing and how much money is on offer?
With the majority of golfing eyes firmly placed on East Lake as the PGA Tour looks to crown its FedEx Cup champion in the season closing Tour Championship, DP World Tour action is underway in Switzerland for the Omega European Masters.
The beautiful Crans-sur-Sierre once again plays host to a field that includes defending champion Rasmus Hojgaard. It proved to be first time lucky for the great Dane when a final round 63 set the clubhouse lead at 13-under-par, which was ultimately enough to secure a one shot victory over Bernd Wiesberger.
Ryan Fox is the only player inside the top-50 of the Official World Golf Ranking that will tee it up in Switzerland and he will do so fresh from recent top-3 finishes at the Dutch Open, BMW International Open and Horizon Irish Open.
Adrian Meronk made history at the Horizon Open earlier this year when he became Poland's first winner of a DP World Tour event. The 29-year-old has made the journey to Switzerland in a bid to make that multiple Tour titles.
Former Masters champion Danny Willett is the only Major winner in the field and will tee it up on the DP World Tour for the first time since the co-sanctioned Genesis Scottish Open in July.
Golf fans can also look forward to a rare glimpse of Miguel Angel Jimenez. Although a regular on the Champions Tour, the swashbuckling Spaniard will make his first DP World Tour appearance since February.
Having first been contested in 1905, the Omega European Masters is one of the most prestigious events on the DP World Tour circuit; boasting past champions in the likes of Bobby Locke, Seve Ballesteros, Nick Price, Sir Nick Faldo, Colin Montgomerie, Lee Westwood and Sergio Garcia.
