Prize : €2 million (£1.7 million).

Barcelona will welcome back the Open de Espana in May.

It has been more than a decade since Barcelona’s Real Club de Golf El Prat hosted the Open de Espana.

The competition will make its triumphant return to the Catalan course on May 5th, with many of the top golfing professionals from the European Tour expected to star.

As well as the chance to boost their rankings, players are also competing for a prize pot of €2 million (£1.7 million).

The Open de Espana has previously been won by illustrious names such as Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Colin Montgomerie and Seve Ballesteros.

It is one of the oldest tournaments on the continent, having staged its first competition in 1912.

Current champion Alvaro Quiros won a European Tour event in Dubai in February to show his rivals that he may take some beating.

The competition ends on May 8th, but players will not have to go far for their next PGA event, since the Iberdrola Open runs from May 12th to 15th in Majorca.
