History
The competition began in 1995, known as the Dutch Grand Masters, but the tournament ceased between 1997 and 1999. In 2000, it returned as the "European Grand Masters", and then became the "Doeland Grand Masters" from 2001 to 2004, and the "Leendesk Masters" in 2005. The 2006 Masters was postponed, and was to be held in March 2007, reverting to its original title "Dutch Grand Masters". The event was later cancelled, due to lack of sponsorship, but was revived later that year when the tournament venue, the Hotel Zuidenduin, stepped in to sponsor the tounament, and it was branded the Zuiderduin Masters.
