The Castelló Masters is a European Tour golf tournament that was held for the first time in October 2008, taking the slot formerly used by the Mallorca Classic. The event is held at the Club de Campo del Mediterráneo in Castellón, Spain.

The inaugural event was won by Sergio García, who also happened to be the tournament host, having grown up playing golf on the course where his father is the club professional. García finished on a 20-under-par total of 264, winning by a margin of three strokes over Peter Hedblom.

In 2010, 17 year old Italian Matteo Manassero became the youngest ever winner on the European Tour when he triumphed by 4 strokes over Ignacio Garrido.[1]
