DGM Barbados Open
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The DGM Barbados Open is a senior (over 50s) men's professional golf tournament played on the Caribbean island state of Barbados. It is currently the opening event of the season on the European Seniors Tour and the only event on that tour that takes place in the Americas other than two of the senior majors staged in the United States, the Senior PGA Championship and the U.S. Senior Open, which are primarily Champions Tour events and not official money events on the European Seniors Tour. The PGA European Tour organisation is based in the United Kingdom and Barbados is a former British colony, and is now a popular holiday resort for Britons (and others). The tournament was first played in 2000 and in 2006 it had a prize fund of €190,881, which is one of the smallest on the tour. It is hosted by the Royal Westmoreland Golf Club.
