The Egyptian Open is the national open golf tournament of Egypt. It was first played in 1921 and is the oldest professional competition in the Middle East.[1]
History
[edit]During the early 1950s, it was contested by many of the world's leading golfers, with winners including Bobby Locke and Bernard Hunt.[2][3]
In 2009, the tournament once again attracted an international field including eight time European Tour Order of Merit winner and captain of the 2010 European Ryder Cup team Colin Montgomerie.[1] During the event, it was announced that a deal had been signed which would see the Egyptian Open become an event on the second tier Challenge Tour for a minimum of three years from 2010.[4] The Challenge Tour last visited Egypt in 2004 for the Al Ahram-Jolie Ville Sharm El Sheikh Challenge.[5]
In 2025, the event returned to a professional tour, being played on the Asian Development Tour and hosted at Madinaty Golf Club in Cairo.[6]
