The strongest field in the 14 year history of the Scandinavian Masters by Carlsberg will gather at Barsebäck Golf and Country Club in Sweden from July 29 – August 1 including all but one of the previous winners.
Leading the way is defending champion Adam Scott of Australia, who went on to win The Players Championship, widely regarded as the “fifth Major”, on the US PGA Tour, along with three time champion Colin Montgomerie and double champions Jesper Parnevik of Sweden and Lee Westwood of England.
In addition to Parnevik, the home challenge is further strengthened by the in-form players Joakim Haegmann, winner of the title in 1997, and Fredrik Jacobson, with Englishmen Peter Baker (1993) and Nick Faldo (1992) and Northern Ireland’’s Graeme McDowell (2002), completing the line-up of part champions.
Ryder Cup players Niclas Fasth and Pierre Fulke, 2004 Madeira Island Open winner Christopher Hanell, and other European Tour winners Peter Hedblom, Robert Karlsson, Richard S Johnson, Per-Ulrik Johansson and Carl Pettersson are also in the field.
The Scandinavian Masters by Carlsberg will be played at Barsebäck Golf and Country Club for a sixth time and will carry a minimum prize fund of €1,600,000.
