Golf - Open de France

The oldest national open in Europe outside of The Open Championship, the French event has been part of the European Tour's schedule since the tour's inception in 1972.
Since 1991 it has been played at Le Golf National near Paris after being played at several courses around the country, but generally in Paris. The planned tournaments in 2020 and 2021 were both cancelled due to the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.
