“Most people knows that ECCO Tour strives to come up with initiatives to develop the game of golf, but also to find new ways to make it possible for our members to compete all year round. We also know how hard the last 12 month has been for players and we are therefore exited to announce our Virtual Series. We are all missing the feeling of tournament golf, and I really hope that the ECCO Tour Virtual Series – By Made in HimmerLand can help fill the void and provide our players and fans with some excitement and entertainment across the three weeks in March.”
