Open is the first pro golf tournament sanctioned by the European, Sunshine and Asian Tours. This competition will be played according to the 72-hole (4-day) stroke play formula with a cut after 36 holes. The Four Seasons Golf Club Mauritius at Anahita has already been a partner of the prestigious AfrAsia Golf Masters tournament for four years. This new major event not only allows Mauritius to acquire its title of nobility of the best golf destinations on the planet but also will allow customers of the Anahita Mauritius resort to live a unique experience alongside professional golfers. The resort offers a championship course - UGSA standards - designed by Ernie Els, the South African champion.

It is technical and of high quality, consisting of 18 par 72 holes, over 6 meters; its particular characteristics lie in generous fairways, 828 tees at the start, 5 extraordinary holes facing a lagoon-colored ocean and finally, a final shot which is among the most spectacular in the world. The AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open is endowed with a total amount of one million euros. It brings together three essential circuits on the calendar: European (European Tour), Asian (Asian Tour) and South African (Sunshine Tour) and thus represents the most important tournament ever played in Mauritius and the Indian Ocean. It was won last year by South African George Coetzee - the 6rd player in the world - who won in the playoff ahead of Dane Thorbjorn Olesen. While the Frenchman Victor Riu, one hundred and seventy-fourth player, positioned himself in twenty-ninth place.
