When is the 2019 British Masters?
There was no tournament held between 2009 and 2014 but since returning to the calendar it has proved popular amongst golf fans, so when is the 2019 British Masters?
A brief history of the British Masters
The British Masters was first held in 1946 at Stoneham Golf Club which resulted in a tie between Jimmy Adams and Bobby Locke. The event was ever present until 2008 when Fernando Fernandez-Castano was victorious at The Belfry.
Due to a lack of title sponsor the event wasn’t played between 2009 and 2014 but Sky Sports stepped in and it was announced that the event would return in 2015 with Ian Poulter hosting at Woburn Golf Club.
Since then the event has been ever present on the European Tour calendar.

Matthew Beedle
Matthew has been playing golf since he was around 13 and took up the game at a local nine-hole municipal course with his friends before joining Pontefract & District Golf Club just over the hedge.
Still a member of Pontefract with a handicap of 3, he currently sits on the board of directors to help with digital and marketing initiatives in order to improve membership and visitor income.
Matthew graduated university with a First Class in Sports Journalism from Leeds Trinity University and has been working in the golf industry since graduating.
NCG’s social media & marketing manager, Matthew’s main job role is to increase website traffic to the National Club Golfer website via our email and social media channels as well as driving entries to grow our NCG Top 100s Tour events amongst other tasks.
Not one to change his equipment too often, Matthew currently plays the TaylorMade M2 driver which has lasted the test of time in his bag. Elsewhere, you’ll find him using the TaylorMade Stealth 2 three-wood with a Ping G425 Crossover 2-iron to aid his long game.
Through his 4-iron to Gap Wedge, Matthew uses the Ping i500 irons accompanied by Ping’s Glide 3.0 56-degree and 60-degree wedges.
Another club that has stood the test of time in his bag is a Nike Method Core MC-3i putter which has had to have the SuperStroke grip changed at least three times. Ball of choice is the Titleist ProV1.
