Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Template:Infobox golf season The 1989 European Tour, titled as the 1989 Volvo Tour for sponsorship reasons, was the 18th season of the European Tour, the main professional golf tour in Europe since its inaugural season in 1972.

It was the second season of the tour under a title sponsorship agreement with Volvo, that was announced in May 1987.[1]

Changes for 1989

The season was made up of 33 tournaments counting for the Order of Merit, and ten non-counting "Approved Special Events".[2][3]

There were several changes from the previous season, with the addition of the Tenerife Open, the Dubai Desert Classic, the Volvo Open Championship, the Murphy's Cup (an approved special event), the BMW International Open and the Catalan Open, which replaced the cancelled Barcelona Open. A renewal of the Europcar Cup, a team event which debuted in 1988, was planned but was ultimately cancelled.
