Rasmus Højgaard and Lee Westwood both played their way in to the European Tour record books with victories earlier this season.
With tournaments set to resume in the coming weeks with two dual ranking events in Austria prior to the start of the new UK Swing at the British Masters hosted by Lee Westwood, we decided to take a look back at their history making triumphs.
Rasmus Højgaard becomes third youngest winner in Tour history
In just the second event of the season, Rasmus Højgaard became the third youngest winner in European Tour history with a dramatic play-off triumph at the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open.
At 18 years and 271 days old, only Italian Matteo Manassero - who won twice as a 17-year-old - and New Zealander Danny Lee have won on the European Tour at a younger age.
The 18-year-old Dane birdied the 72nd hole to get to 19 under alongside Italian Renato Paratore and Frenchman Antoine Rozner as the event went to a play-off for the third time in as many stagings at Heritage Golf Club.
Højgaard missed a 12-foot eagle putt for the title on the first trip back up the par five last but - after halving the hole in birdies with Rozner at the second attempt - made his three from similar range at the third time of asking to take the title.
"This is a dream come true," he said at the time. "It's amazing. To be on the European Tour so early is a dream come true and to be a winner now, it's incredible. I can't put it into words.
His victory came in just his fifth European Tour appearance, making Højgaard the fastest Dane to a European Tour win, beating 15-time winner and 2018 Ryder Cup Captain Thomas Bjørn's record of 24 events.
Lee Westwood captures 25th Tour win in Abu Dhabi
Earlier this year Lee Westwood memorably claimed his 25th European Tour title after producing a brilliant display of front running to win the 2020 Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship presented by EGA.
The Englishman entered the final day in the desert with a one shot lead and, while he was briefly caught, he was never passed, carding a 67 to finish 19 under, two shots ahead of countrymen Matthew Fitzpatrick and Tommy Fleetwood, and Frenchman Victor Perez.
The victory, which saw him become just the third player in Tour history to win in four different decades, was his 44th worldwide.
"I can't believe I'm that old," he had said as it dawned on him that he had won in the 90s, 00s, 10s and 20s. "It's getting harder.
"It's just nice to come out and keep proving that you've still got it.
"I won my first tournament in 1996 in Sweden. I won that tournament in three different decades and now won here this week. The 20s could be the ones for me.”
Westwood joined an elite group of champions with his second Rolex Series triumph, becoming just the eighth player to win 25 times on the European Tour. The others? Seve Ballesteros (50), Bernhard Langer (42), Tiger Woods (41), Colin Montgomerie (31), Sir Nick Faldo (30), Ian Woosnam (29) and Ernie Els (28).
