El Bosque Open

The El Bosque Open was a professional golf tournament on the European Tour. It was held just once, in 1990, when it replaced the Jersey Open on the tour schedule.[1] Its renewal in 1991 was cancelled due to lack of sponsorship.[2]

The annual schedule states the total prize implied by the breakdown was in pounds.
