Madeira Islands Open Golf Tournament

The Madeira Islands Open was a golf tournament on the European Tour that was played from the early 1990s into the 2010s. It was played on the island of Madeira, an Atlantic Ocean island southwest of Portugal (of which the island is part) and due west of Morocco.

From 2002-05 and from 2011-15, the tournament was co-sponsored by the European Tour and by the Challenge Tour, the Euro Tour's developmental circuit. As such, it was one of the lower-paying events on the European Tour.

The event was often plagued by poor weather, including in its final two times being played. ... The only two-time winner was Swedish golfer Mats Lanner. ... The largest margin of victory was eight strokes by Bradley Dredge in 2003. ... The 72-hole scoring record was 264 by Roope Kakko in 2015.

First played: 1993
