The 2018 Polish Open set a European record for longest playoff after a battle between Frenchman Mathieu Decottignies-Lafon and Czech Ondřej Lieser. Decottignies-Lafon was only established as the winner on the tenth extra hole of the playoff after he birdied the 18th hole. The longest men's sudden death tour playoff was in 1976, when it took Peter Thomson fourteen holes to defeat Graham Marsh, Brian Jones and Shozo Miyamoto in the Pepsi-Wilson Tournament on the Japan Golf Tour.Winners
