Made in Denmark is a European Tour golf tournament played annually in Denmark.

History

The inaugural tournament was played from 14–17 August 2014 at the Himmerland Golf & Spa Resort, in Farsø,[1] Denmark.[2] Himmerland hosted the event from 2014 to 2017. In 2015, the tournament featured the shortest par-3 hole in European Tour history, when the 16th hole played just 79 yards (72 m) in the final round.[3]

In 2018, Made in Denmark was played at Silkeborg Ry Golfklub, before returning to Himmerland Golf & Spa Resort in 2019. During the Made in Denmark Challenge in June 2018, the organisation behind the tournament announced that Made in Denmark would continue for another five years, until 2023. The host course(s) for the 2020–2023 editions have not yet been selected.
