Cannes Open
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cannes Open was a men's professional golf tournament on the European Tour that was played annually from 1984 to 1998 and again in 2001. It had several different sponsored names. The winners included two major championship winners, Seve Ballesteros and Ian Woosnam. The prize fund peaked at £403,570 in 1996 before falling to £300,000 in 1998, which was the smallest on the European Tour that season. It was without a title sponsor that season, for the only time apart from 1988 and was subsequently cancelled.
