Those returns to the series are a welcome surprise, as the Open de Portugal, for example, has been absent for seven years. On top, the Rocco Forte Open marks the European Tour\u2019s first return to Sicily since 2012. Until now, only 47 tournaments have definitely been confirmed, while one more will be announced in the next weeks. Keith Pelley, Chief Executive of the European Tour, said: “The 2017 season promises to be a very significant one for the European Tour, with the start of the Rolex Series and the inclusion of three returning events in Portugal, Sicily and Spain, plus at least one more tournament to be confirmed shortly. That will give us 48 tournaments around the world, once again demonstrating the global footprint of the European Tour, while at the same time offering a wide range of playing opportunities for our members.” If interested, you can find the full schedule of the European Tour right here<\/a>. <\/p>\n
