The Evian Championship will celebrate its 25th anniversary on Thursday as the 2018 tournament gets under way.
This will be the sixth year in which the competition at the Evian ResortGolf Club in Evian-les-Bains, France, will feature as a major event, and it could produce a sixth champion in as many runnings, with no player yet to win the event more than once.
The Associated Press (h/t USA Today) confirmed in March that the prize money for the 2018 edition has increased to $3.85 million—a $200,000 bump on last year's overall prize pot.
