The '''Avantha Masters''' was a professional [[golf]] tournament co-sanctioned by the [[European Tour]], [[Asian Tour]] and the [[Professional Golf Tour of India]]. The tournament was played at the [[DLF Golf and Country Club]] in [[Delhi]] from 2010 to 2012 and moved to Jaypee Greens Golf Club, [[Greater Noida]] in 2013.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.asiantour.com/news.aspx?sid=20130130707840809802 |title=Avantha Masters finds a new home |publisher=Asian Tour |date=30 January 2013 |access-date=8 March 2013 }}{{dead link|date=October 2016 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

The event was tri-sanctioned by the [[European Tour]], the [[Asian Tour]] and the [[Professional Golf Tour of India]] (PGTI). The 2011 Avantha Masters carried an increased prize fund of €1.8 million.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.europeantour.com/europeantour/season=2011/tournamentid=2011008/news/newsid=130948.html#avantha+masters+increases+prize+fund+2011 |title=Avantha Masters Increases Prize Fund For 2011 |publisher=PGA European Tour |date=29 October 2011 |access-date=12 March 2013}}</ref>

On 5 September 2013, the tournament's sponsor, [[Avantha Group]], announced it had decided against renewing the contract with the European Tour because of current economic conditions. With the announcement, the Avantha Masters was removed from the 2014 calendar of its three sanctioning Tours.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/news-by-industry/et-cetera/india-loses-top-golf-event-avantha-masters-due-to-falling-rupee/articleshow/22340249.cms |title=India loses top golf event Avantha Masters due to falling rupee |newspaper=Times of India |date=6 September 2013 |access-date=6 September 2013}}</ref>
