The Andalucía Masters is a golf tournament on the European Tour. It was first played in 2010 at the Valderrama Golf Club in Sotogrande, Spain. It was played at the same location as the former Volvo Masters. The 2012 edition was cancelled, only a month before the event was due to start, as the new local government wished to cut costs.[1] The event did not return until 2017, when it was hosted by 2011 champion Sergio García, who had hosted the Open de España at the same venue in 2016.
In 2019, the event was added to the Open Qualifying Series, giving up to three non-exempt players entry into The Open Championship.[2]
The 2022 event was the final edition of the tournament to be held at Valderrama due to LIV Golf acquiring it as a venue for the 2023 LIV Golf League. Having signed a five-year deal with LIV Golf, Valderrama was removed by the European Tour as one of their venues.[3] In July 2023, it was announced that Real Club de Golf Sotogrande would be the new host venue for the Andalucía Masters.[4]
