Golf will welcome the return of The World Matchplay Championship next year after failing to accommodate the tournament in 2010.
A congested schedule meant that the competition was axed with sponsors Volvo and promoter International Management Group deciding to postpone the event.
In 2009, the tournament ran into problems after clashing with the Singapore Open with several high-profile players such as Ernie Els and Ian Poulter opting to compete in Asia instead.
Now, with the tournament reinstated, Finca Cortesin in Andalucia, Spain, will play host to the Championship between May 19th-22nd 2010.
European Tour chief executive, George O'Grady, said: "I am delighted that we have been able to work with Volvo and IMG (event promoter) to find this new date in the schedule where the Volvo World Match Play Championship will fit so well going forward. It is one of the oldest events on our Tour and very fitting that one of our longest-serving sponsors has secured its future and worked so hard to continue to develop the tournament."
