Equity & Law Challenge
The Equity & Law Challenge was an unofficial-money golf tournament on the European Tour that was played from 1987 to 1992. All six editions were played on a relatively short composite course at Royal Mid-Surrey Golf Club. The event used a Modified Stableford points system with 2 points for an eagle and 1 for a birdie. Ties were split by the number of pars. Qualification for the event was based on a season-long points system in which points were gained for birdies and eagles in European Tour events.[1]
