ISPS Handa World Invitational
The ISPS Handa World Invitational was a professional golf tournament that featured on the European Tour, the Challenge Tour, the LPGA Tour and the Ladies European Tour.
History
The event was created in 2019 and involved separate events for both men and women, both having the same prize money. The men's event featured on the Challenge Tour schedule. Jack Senior won the men's event in a playoff over Matthew Baldwin. Stephanie Meadow won the women's event, beating Charley Hull by one shot.[1]
No tournament was played in 2020. In 2021, the event returned and was elevated to European Tour status for the men's event. The women's event gained co-sanctioning by the LPGA Tour and the Ladies European Tour.[2] Daniel Gavins won the men's tournament for his first European Tour victory. Pajaree Anannarukarn won the women's tournament in a playoff over Emma Talley for her first LPGA Tour victory.[3]
Similarly to 2021, the 2022 event again featured 132 men and 132 women for each championship. A cut to top 60 and ties after 36 holes (two rounds), then a second cut to top 35 and ties after 54 holes (three rounds). For the first two rounds, all players played one round on each course.[4]
In 2023 Castlerock Golf Club was added as a co-host to Galgorm Castle, replacing Massereene, which had previously been used as a second venue.[5] In August, after the release of the 2024 European Tour schedule, it was confirmed that the 2023 event would be the final edition.[6]
