After that, it began a 30-year relationship with La Costa Resort and Spa in Carlsbad, California, which lasted until the event was moved to its current location in Hawaii. The championship winners are Vijay Singh in 2007 and Daniel Chopra in 2008, who is the current champion. Also there is a Mercedes-Benz Championship in Europe, which is a European Tour men's professional golf tournament played in Germany and hosted and promoted by Germany's greatest golfer Bernhard Langer and his brother Erwin. From 1987 to 2005, the tournament was played as the German Masters, in Stuttgart from 1987 to 1993, and then moved to Berlin from 1994 to 1997, and from 1998 to 2005 it was played at Golfclub Gut Lärchenhof in Cologne. The German Masters was one of the richer events on the European Tour at that time outside of the major championships and the three individual World Golf Championships events, with the prize fund of €3 million in 2005. In 2005 it was one of three European Tour events held in Germany, alongside the Deutsche Bank Players Championship of Europe and the BMW International Open.
