Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox golf season The 1985 European Tour, titled as the 1985 PGA European Tour,[1] was the 14th season of the European Tour, the main professional golf tour in Europe since its inaugural season in 1972.

Changes for 1985

The season was made up of 26 tournaments counting for the Order of Merit, and some non-counting "Approved Special Events".[2][3]

There were several changes from the previous season, with the GSI L'Equipe Open replacing the Timex Open; the return of the British Masters[4] and the Bob Hope Classic, which was rebranded as the Four Stars National Pro-Celebrity; and the loss of the Tournament Players Championship and the Celtic International.

In addition, the Dunhill Cup, a new team event devised by Mark McCormack and held over the Old Course at St Andrews, was added to the schedule but did not count towards the Order of Merit; with a prize fund of Шаблон:Currency it was the richest tournament in the world, surpassing the Nedbank Million Dollar Challenge in South Africa.[5]

Rule changes

In 1985, the European Tour became "All-Exempt", meaning that for the first time tournaments did not have their own pre-qualifying rounds.[1][6] The final two rounds of all major tournaments were played as two-balls, having previously been three-balls.[7]

Order of Merit name change

In April, it was announced that Epson would take over the title sponsorship of the Order of Merit from Sperry Corporation, being renamed as the Epson Order of Merit.[8]
