The Hero Open was a professional golf tournament played on the European Tour. The event was created as part of the tour's overhaul in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. It was originally planned as a revival of the English Open, but after Hero MotoCorp agreed sponsorship of the event in July 2020, the event was effectively separated. [1]
The inaugural tournament was held at Forest of Arden in Warwickshire, England. Sam Horsfield took the title, winning by one shot ahead of Thomas Detry. [2] The event returned in 2021, when it was held at Fairmont St Andrews, in Fife, Scotland. [3] Grant Forrest won by one shot ahead of James Morrison. [4]
