The MoreGolf Mastercard Open is a women's professional golf tournament on the Swedish Golf Tour and LET Access Series. First played in 2020, it is held at Varberg Golf Club in Varberg, Sweden.[1]

History

[edit]

The inaugural tournament featured a sudden death playoff between Ingrid Lindblad and Beatrice Wallin, both amateurs on the National Team on summer break from their American colleges, where Lindblad won with an eagle on the first playoff hole.[2]

In 2023, the tournament was reduced to 18 holes after play the first two days were abandoned due to Storm Hans and heavy rain.[3]

In 2024, Andrea Lignell set a new course record of 64 (−8) in the first round.[4]
