The European Tour International Schedule, incorporating for the first time in 2009 The Race to Dubai, is a vigorous, thriving global brand; the European Challenge Tour focuses on the future; and the European Senior Tour provides a new start for champions celebrating their 50th birthday.

The start of the 2009 season also heralded The European Tour’s new corporate identity, featuring the iconic silhouette image of six-time Open Champion Harry Vardon and a world skyline graphic depicting many of the geographical elements built into The Race to Dubai’s 51 tournaments in 26 destinations.
