The Nordea Scandinavian Masters, as it is currently known for sponsorship reasons, is an annual golf tournament on the European Tour which is played in Sweden at the end of July or the beginning of August each year.
The tournament has its origins in the late 1960s with the Volvo Open, which became the Scandinavian Enterprise Open in 1973, when it also became the first Swedish stop on the European Tour schedule. In 1991, the SEO merged with the PLM Open, with the resultant tournament being called the Scandinavian Masters.
The Scandinavian Masters is currently the only European Tour event to be held in Scandinavia, and in 2009 had a prize fund of €1.6 million, which is at the lower end of the scale for European Tour events held in the tour's home continent.
