"It gives the regions' leading players the chance to demonstrate their high level of skill on a very demanding course which is a great test of golf.
"Furthermore, by extending the tournament to 54-holes it will ensure that we get the best players at the top of the pile and in contention to book their place in some leading European Tour events."
