Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Template:Infobox golf season The 2004 European Tour was the 33rd season of the European Tour, the main professional golf tour in Europe since its inaugural season in 1972.

Changes for 2004

Changes from 2003 included two new tournaments, the Open de Sevilla[1] and The Heritage,[2] and the loss of the Benson & Hedges International Open, the Trophée Lancôme[3] and the Nordic Open. The HSBC World Match Play Championship also became an official money-list event for the first time with an increased field determined by qualification criteria, which also meant it regained Official World Golf Ranking status,[4] and the Mallorca Classic became a full European Tour event having been a dual-ranking event in 2003.
