Next month’s Andalucia Masters tournament in southern Spain has been cancelled, the European PGA Tour confirmed on Wednesday. No reason was given for the late decision to call off the event due to be played from Oct.18-21, which last year was won by Spain’s Sergio Garcia. The local authorities in Andalucia announced on Monday that the tournament at the Valderrama Golf Club would not go ahead, and have now formally confirmed that decision to the European Tour. “The European Tour regrets to announce that the 2012 Andalucia Masters, due to be played at the Club de Golf Valderrama, Sotogrande, on Oct.18-21, will now be cancelled.” The Junta de Andalucia confirmed the decision by letter which they also announced by a press release on Monday Sept.10.
