Deutsche Bank Open TPC of Europe

The Deutsche Bank Open TPC of Europe (also called the Deutsche Bank Players Championship of Europe) was a tournament on the European Tour played in Germany. It was won three times by Tiger Woods.

First played: 1992

Last played: 2007

The event's biggest claim to fame is that Tiger Woods won it three times, more than anyone else. Woods was reportedly paid large appearance fees to play, and his victories happened during the height of his talents, in the late 1990s/early 2000s. One of Woods' wins required a playoff, however. In 2002 Woods defeated Colin Montgomerie in extra holes.

Bernhard Langer and Lee Westwood, with two wins each, were the other multiple champions. When Westwood won in 2000, Woods tied for third place.

The tournament scoring record of 263 was set by Robert Karlsson in 2006. The largest margin of victory was six strokes by Langer in 1995.

Also known as: First played as the Honda Open, then as the Deutsche Bank Open TPC of Europe, Deutsche Bank - SAP Open TPC of Europe, and finally the Deutsche Bank Players Championship of Europe.
