Hassan II Golf Trophy

The Hassan II Golf Trophy is a golf tournament in Morocco hosted by Prince Moulay Rachid. The tournament was founded by, and is now named for, his father, Hassan II, who served as King of Morocco. The tournament is currently played on PGA Tour Champions, but was originally staged as an invitational pro-am and attended by only a handful of top professionals. It later moved onto the European Tour schedule in 2010 and was played on that tour until 2019.[1][2] The winner receives a gold dagger inlaid with jewels.[3]
