Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox golf season The 1998 European Tour, titled as the 1998 PGA European Tour,[1] was the 27th season of the European Tour, the main professional golf tour in Europe since its inaugural season in 1972.
Changes for 1998
For the first time the schedule included the Masters Tournament, U.S. Open and PGA Championship, although winnings did not count towards the Order of Merit. There were several changes from the previous season with the addition of the Qatar Masters, the return of the Belgian Open and the loss of the Dimension Data Pro-Am.
In March, the Chemapol Trophy Czech Open was cancelled in the wake of severe floods across the country in July 1997;[2] it was later replaced on the schedule by the German Open.[3] In July, the tour announced the cancellation of the Oki Pro-Am.[4]
