Schedule
The table below shows the 1982 European Tour schedule which was made up of 27 tournaments counting for the Official Money List, and some non-counting "Approved Special Events". There were several changes from the previous season, with the addition of the Tunisian Open, the Car Care Plan International[2] and the Sanyo Open, the return of the Portuguese Open; and the Lancome Trophy became a counting event for the first time.[3]
