The tournament had its origins in the Volvo Open and the Scandinavian Enterprise Open, which, in 1973, became the first Swedish stop on the European Tour schedule. In 1991, the SEO merged with the PLM Open, with the resultant tournament being called the Scandinavian Masters.[2]

The Scandinavian Masters was generally the only European Tour event to be held in Scandinavia, and in 2013 had a prize fund of €1.5 million, which wass at the lower end of the scale for European Tour events held in the tour's home continent.

Until 2011, the tournament was played at the end of July or the beginning of August each year. For 2012, it moved to the first weekend in June, and was played from Wednesday to Saturday to allow players more time to travel to the following week's U.S. Open.[3] From 2013 to 2017 it was played in late May/early June, two weeks before the U.S. Open, but in 2018 it was played in August.

In 2019 Lagardère Group passed management of the tournament on to the European Tour, which renamed it Scandinavian Invitation. The following year the European Tour and Ladies European Tour created Scandinavian Mixed hosted by Henrik and Annika, for the first time bringing 78 men and 78 women together to compete in the same tournament for the same prize money. Official World Ranking points are offered for both tours, along with points toward the European Tour's and LET's respective season-long competitions.[4]

gollark: The thing is that the compiled code will probably be significantly abstracted from actual Lua, making the "low-level" stuff harder.

gollark: It does a bunch of hackery with metatables and stuff.
gollark: But implementing stuff as cool as potatOS often requires Lua-specific things your compiler might not do well with.
gollark: Oh, right, that's down...
