The Lyoness Open will feature in The Race to Dubai until at least 2019 following a new five year agreement between The European Tour, title sponsor Lyoness and promoter Golf Open Event gmbh.



Next year marks the Austrian tournament’s tenth consecutive staging, having also previously been played each year between 1990 and 1996 when champions included Ryder Cup stars Bernhard Langer, Ronan Rafferty and Paul McGinley.



As part of the new agreement, the prize fund for the 2015 tournament will be increased by 50 per cent, from €1,000,000 to €1,500,000. The tournament will return to Diamond Country Club, in Atzenbrugg, the host venue since 2010, which is a European Tour Destination as part of The European Tour’s Properties Network, from June 11-14, 2015.
