The event was tri-sanctioned by the European Tour, the Asian Tour and the Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI). The 2011 Avantha Masters carried an increased prize fund of €1.8 million.[2]

On 5 September 2013, the tournament's sponsor, Avantha Group, announced it had decided against renewing the contract with the European Tour because of current economic conditions. With the announcement, the Avantha Masters was removed from the 2014 calendar of its three sanctioning Tours.[3]

gollark: Oh, that's declaring the existent of the variable `stmt`.
gollark: Which `let`?
gollark: This lets me do this```javascriptconst getPage = name => SQL`SELECT * FROM pages WHERE name = ${name} ORDER BY updated DESC LIMIT 1`.get() || null```*without* the glaring SQL injection vulnerabilities!
gollark: ```javascriptexport const SQL = (strings, ...params) => { const sql = strings.join("?") let stmt const cachedValue = preparedStatements.get(sql) if (!cachedValue) { stmt = DB.prepare(sql) preparedStatements.set(sql, stmt) } else { stmt = cachedValue } return { get: () => stmt.get.apply(stmt, params), run: () => stmt.run.apply(stmt, params), all: () => stmt.all.apply(stmt, params), statement: stmt }}```observe some stuff from my code.
