The European Challenge Tour is coming to Azerbaijan for the first time this summer, bringing together 156 golfers.

The tournament will take place over four days: August 30 and July 1st, 2nd and 3rd at the National Azerbaijan Golf Club in Guba, the headquarters of the Azerbaijan Golf Federation.

The tournament will have prize money of $300,000 at stake (£179,000/€220,000).

The event will be the 16th stop on the 28-stop European Challenge Tour. It began in the Kenyan capital Nairobi in March, and has already visited Spain, Turkey and Austria.

Other stops include Ukraine and Kazakhstan in September, before the Tour Grand Final in Dubai from November 5 to 8.
