The Evian Masters tournament is a world class event that guarantees the presence of the international golfing elite. 22 nations were represented at the 2007 Evian Masters. 2008 will be even more international, featuring a Chinese player for the first time. The best women players in the world will all line up behind the world number one player, Lorena Ochoa.

This tournament dominates the world hierarchy, just behind the US Open with prize money of $3 million in 2007.

Situated between the Lake and Mountains on the left bank of Lake Geneva, the Evian Masters Golf club lays out its 18 holes in a beautiful environment of a wooded 60 hectare park overlooking the lake.

This year, the course has been embellished with a more strategic approach to certain holes.
