Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Template:Infobox golf season The 2007 European Tour was the 36th season of the European Tour, the main professional golf tour in Europe since its inaugural season in 1972.

Changes for 2007

There were three new tournaments, the Joburg Open in South Africa, the Open de Andalucía in Spain and the Portugal Masters.[1] In addition, the long-established Australian Masters joined the tour schedule and two tournaments returned after missing the 2006 season; the New Zealand Open skipped a season due to date changes,[2] and the German Masters having not been held in 2006, came back with a new sponsor and was re-titled as the Mercedes-Benz Championship.
