2021 Scandinavian Mixed
European Tour
Vallda Golf & Country Club
Stockholm, Sweden
10-13 June 2021
The 2021 Scandinavian Mixed will take place at the Vallda Golf & Country Club in Stockholm, Sweden between 10 and 13 June.
The tournament is part of the
European Golf Tour and it was established in 1991 when Scandinavian Enterprise Open merged with the PLM Open, with the resultant competition being called the Scandinavian Masters.
In 2020, it became co-sanctioned with the Ladies European Tour and rebranded the Scandinavian Mixed, in which both male and female golfers compete.

The 2020 tournament was canceled due to COVID-19 and the 2019 Scandinavian Mixed was won by Erik Van Rooyen of South Africa.
The Western Cape-born golfer birdied the final hole to win his first European Tour title with the competition known as the Scandinavian Invitation at the time.

Keith Pelley, the Chief Executive Officer of the European Tour, lauded Annika Sorenstam and Henrik Stenson for hosting this year's Scandinavian Mixed.
“Inclusivity and innovation are two of our key pillars and we are delighted to have global stars in Henrik and Annika leading the way as hosts of the Scandinavian Mixed in their home country of Sweden as we continue to drive golf further," Pelley said.
"We have been in close collaboration with the women’s game in recent years, not only on the European Tour, but also across the European Challenge Tour and Staysure Tour with events held in Northern Ireland and Jordan.
"This tournament is the next step for male and female golfers to compete together on one course, for one prize fund, and one trophy.”
Lee Westwood and Colin Montgomerie are the most decorated players in the history of the Scandinavian Masters having won three titles each.
