The Cannes Open golf tournament has been resurrected at just two weeks' notice to fill a gap in the European tour schedule caused by the late cancellation of the Estoril Open.
Prize money at Cannes Mougins on October 11th-14th will be Stg£344,000, the same as was to have been on offer in Portugal.
Players previously entered for the Estoril Open will automatically be entered for the new event and the closing date has been extended by one week to next Friday.
Last played in 1998, the Cannes Open will this year be staged and supported by the tour and International Sports Management, whose managing director Andrew Chandler said: "We are delighted to assist at short notice."
