Kazakhstan Open

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Kazakhstan Open is a men's professional golf tournament on the Challenge Tour, the official developmental tour of the PGA European Tour. As of 2007, it is the only Challenge Tour event in the Former Soviet Union (the Russian Open was the first Challenge Tour event in the Former Soviet Union, but it has been promoted to the main European Tour). The Kazakhstan Open was first played in 2005, in which year it had a €250,000 prize fund, and in 2007 it has a prize fund of €330,000, which makes it the second richest event on the tour after the Open de Saint-Omer, which is also an official money European Tour event.
