European Mid-Amateur Men's Championship
The European Mid-Amateur Men's Championship is a European amateur golf championship opened to men aged 25 or plus years old, organized by the European Golf Association.[1]
The championship was introduced in 1991, with over 30 editions contested so far. The event is played annually in conjunction with the European Mid-Amateur Ladies' Championship.[2] The age limit lowered from 30 to 25 years old in 2021.
Format[edit]
The top 90 amateur players, aged from 25 years old, compete in a format consisting of three rounds of stroke play, with a cut after the second round out of which the lowest 54 men's scores can qualify for the final round.
