The WPGA Championship of Europe was a women's professional golf tournament on the Ladies European Tour.
The tournament was first played in 1979 in France, the first WPGA event held outside the United Kingdom.[1] It was revived 1996 at Gleneagles in Scotland, titled the McDonald's WPGA Championship, and was the first event on the tour to be played solely for charity.[2] Following the withdrawal of McDonald's as sponsors after just four years, there was a one-year break before the tournament returned to the tour in 2001 with a new home in Wales. It was last played in 2010.
