The 1993 European Tour, titled as the 1993 Volvo Tour for sponsorship reasons, was the 22nd season of the European Tour, the main professional golf tour in Europe since its inaugural season in 1972.
It was the sixth season of the tour under a title sponsorship agreement with Volvo, that was announced in May 1987. [1]
The season was made up of 38 tournaments counting for the Order of Merit, and five non-counting "Approved Special Events". [2] [3]
There were few changes from the previous season, with the addition of the Madeira Island Open and a ProServ tournament in Bologna replacing the Volvo Open di Firenze. A new tournament was planned for South Africa but was not finalised. [4]
The cancellation of the Monte Carlo Open in February prompted rescheduling of the Carroll's Irish Open to ensure there was no gap in the schedule prior to The Open Championship. [5] The Honda Open, originally scheduled opposite the Dunhill Cup, was later moved to the fill the dates vacated by the Carroll's Irish Open. [6] In early March, the Kronenbourg Open was added to replace the cancelled ProServ tournament. [7]
