European Amateur




The European Amateur Championship is an annual amateur golf tournament. It is played at various locations throughout Europe. It is organized by the European Golf Association and was first played in 1986. It is one of the "Elite" tournaments recognized by the World Amateur Golf Ranking.


The winner receives an invitation to the next Open Championship, provided they maintain their amateur status prior to the Open. Before 2016 the European Amateur was played after the Open and the invitation was for the next year's Open. Since 2017 the European Amateur has been played before the Open and the invitation applies to the current year. Both 2016 and 2017 winners received entry to the 2017 Open.
