Izki Golf hosts the XIX Spanish PGA Doubles Championship

The PGA Spain Golf Tour 2023 returns to the scene, in Izki Golf, almost without time to celebrate Jon Rahm’s victory in the Augusta Masters, the 6th “Green Jacket” for Spain.

Adrian Otaegui, Gonzalo Fernández-Castaño, José Manuel Carriles and Natalia Escuriola are some of the stars that will be in the golf tournament.

To mark the occasion, the XIX PGA Doubles Championship of Spain has been reinstated. This tournament is beloved by pros and is unlike any other on the Spanish national calendar.

The Izki Golf course, in the North of Spain, is ideal for golf tournaments since it was constructed by Seve Ballesteros and is open to the public, fulfilling one of his lifelong goals.

“We have a plaque placed at the entrance to the golf course since his death, but he will be safe in our thoughts”, said Jon Ander Sánchez, director of Izki Golf.

When the Provincial Council and Izki Golf met with PGA of Spain President Ander Martinez last November, the idea of reviving this competition in pairs quickly gained traction.

“We wanted to do something different and special and to recover this tournament was the perfect combination”, explained Jon Ander.

“Izki Golf is much more than a regular golf course. There’s a lot more in it for residents and tourists alike. It is promotion, closeness, accessible and public. And that is why we carry out actions in schools in the area, collaborations with associations and companies, and whatever arises in order to bring golf closer to the population that unfortunately is unaware of it”, added Jon Ander.

The XIX Spanish PGA Doubles Championship will be held between April 12 and 13 at Izki Golf.

From April 14-16, the Wyndham Grand Algarve will organize the prestigious The Grand Young Talent Golf Tournament on the world-famous golf courses of Quinta do Lago.

This exclusive competition is a great way to allow young golf fans to get experience and exposure to the sport while also having a great time and meeting new friends.

A native from the Algarve and also a DP World Tour professional, the Portuguese golfer Ricardo Santos will be the event ambassador and will lead a golf clinic for all attendees.

“It’s great to be a part of this tournament and to help junior golf”, said Ricardo Santos.

Depending on the participant’s age, the Grand Young Talent Golf Tournament may use a variety of formats, such as stroke play for the U18 and U14 divisions or Stableford for the U10 division.

The rules of the game will dictate how the general and category awards are distributed, and both the gross and net score methods will be used.

According to reports, junior golf in Portugal has been on the rise in recent years, and several groups and initiatives have been established to foster its growth on a national and regional scale.

“Golf is a great sport for children for many reasons, it helps develop focus and resilience, it contributes to the development of social skills and it teaches you about integrity and honesty”, says Ricardo Santos.

Ricardo Santos aspires to encourage and support young golfers at The Grand Young Talent Golf Tournament and beyond through his ambassadorship and golf clinic.
