1978 European Tour
The 1978 European Tour, titled as the 1978 PGA European Tournament Players' Division, was the seventh season of the European Tour, the main professional golf tour in Europe since its inaugural season in 1972.
Changes for 1978
There were several changes from the previous season, with the addition of the Belgian Open, the B.A./Avis Open in Jersey, and the European Open Championship; the return of the Sumrie Better-Ball; and the loss of the Uniroyal International Championship, the Callers of Newcastle, and the Double Diamond team and individual events. In addition, the Kerrygold International was omitted from the schedule in 1978 due to the World Cup being held at Waterville. The Lancome Trophy, which clashed with the new European Open, was also missing.Schedule
