The Northern Ireland Masters was a professional golf tournament that was played at Clandeboye Golf Club in Newtownards, Northern Ireland.

History

It was originally played as a one-off event on the Challenge Tour in September 2003.[1][2] Darren Clarke won the inaugural event by two shots ahead of Stuart Little.[3]

The event returned in 2021 as part of the PGA EuroPro Tour's schedule. It was hosted by then recent first-time European Tour winner Jonathan Caldwell.[4] The tournament was played again in 2022 on the PGA EuroPro Tour.[5]

In 2023, the tournament moved onto the Clutch Pro Tour, as the PGA EuroPro Tour had ceased operation at the end of 2022.[6]
