Tenerife Women’s Open returns to the spectacular Abama Golf

This week, from June 5–8, Tenerife becomes the heart of elite women’s golf as the Tenerife Women’s Open returns to the spectacular Abama Golf. As part of the Ladies European Tour (LET), the event brings together the finest players on the continent—and a powerful platform to showcase the island’s excellence, sustainability, and commitment to premium tourism.

Backed by Turismo de Tenerife and hosted at the iconic Abama Golf—designed by Dave Thomas and known for its ocean views and strategic layout—the tournament is more than just a sporting event. It’s a bold statement about the island’s future.

Nearly 97% of the water used on Tenerife’s golf courses is either regenerated or desalinated, with no impact on public consumption. Courses like Abama have their own desalination systems and use drought-resistant grass species integrated with cutting-edge irrigation technology. This eco-conscious design reflects a larger vision: positioning Tenerife as a leader in sustainable golf tourism.

As LET CEO Alexandra Armas noted to the press, “It’s a privilege to return to a destination that has done so much to elevate women’s golf.” And with three hours of daily live coverage reaching 144 million households across 87 countries, the world is watching.

Tenerife: A Dream Destination

For golfers, Tenerife isn’t just a tournament stop—it’s a dream destination. With an average golf visitor spending 29% more than the standard tourist, staying longer, and generating over €321 million in 2024 alone, the island’s appeal is clear.

The Masters and the Spanish Golf Legacy at Augusta

Few tournaments in the world of golf evoke as much emotion and tradition as The Masters at Augusta National Golf Club. This tournament holds a special place in the Spanish golf legacy because of its prestige and the champions who’ve walked its fairways and donned the iconic Green Jacket.

It all began with Seve Ballesteros, who, in 1980, became the first European ever to win The Masters. Just 23 years old, Seve stunned the American crowd with his bold shot-making and unmatched charisma. He’d go on to win again in 1983, forever linking his name with Augusta’s legacy. His victory opened the gates for a new era of European contenders and a golden chapter for the Spanish golf legacy.

José María Olazábal followed in Seve’s footsteps, winning not once but twice, in 1994 and 1999. Quiet and precise, Olazábal was a master of Augusta’s undulating greens. His 1999 comeback win after a career-threatening injury remains one of the most emotional stories in Masters history. Many recall the embrace between him and his caddie at the 18th—pure magic.

The Unstoppable Spanish Golf Legacy

Then came Sergio García, whose dramatic playoff win in 2017 brought tears to the eyes of golf fans worldwide. After 73 attempts at majors without a win, Sergio broke through at Augusta on what would’ve been Seve’s 60th birthday. The tribute was unspoken but profound. That year, the Green Jacket was more than a trophy; it symbolised perseverance and destiny.

Jon Rahm‘s 2023 win was dominant (the last by a Spaniard) and remains a firm favourite this year. García will join him, still hungry and always dangerous at Augusta, Olazábal, playing both as past champions, and Jose Luis Ballester, who won the last U.S. Amateur.

Augusta is always full of surprises, and Spaniards again take centre stage. The Spanish golf legacy Seve started more than four decades ago is alive and well, and this week, all eyes will be on the azaleas—and García, Olazábal, Rahm and Ballester chasing history.
