The 2010 European Tour was the 39th season of the European Tour, the main professional golf tour in Europe since its inaugural season in 1972.
There were many changes from the 2009 season, including six new tournaments; they were the Africa Open in South Africa,[1] the returning Avantha Masters in India which had been cancelled in 2009,[a] the Trophée Hassan II in Morocco,[1] the Iberdrola Open Cala Millor Mallorca and the Andalucía Valderrama Masters in Spain, and the Vivendi Cup in France.[2] Lost from the schedule were the European Open, the Mercedes-Benz Championship, the Johnnie Walker Classic, the Australian Masters, the Indonesia Open and the Volvo World Match Play Championship.[3] There were also three fewer tournaments due to a partial realignment of the schedule with the calendar.
The following table lists official events during the 2010 season.[4][5]
