Valderrama Golf Course
|
The Open de España
from April 14-17, 2016
One of the most historic
tournaments on The European Tour; Real Club Valderrama, one of the most iconic
venues in the world of golf; and Sergio Garcia, one of Spain’s most celebrated
golfing sons, will come together to stage the Real Club Valderrama Open
de
España, hosted by the
Sergio Garcia Foundation.
It will be the first time that the legendary
Andalucian venue has staged Spain’s national Open, a tournament whose history
stretches all the way back to its first playing in Madrid in 1912. Since 1972,
it has also been a feature of every season on The European Tour and has seen
some of golf’s greatest names get their hands on the trophy.
Amongst those are Major Champions Seve Ballesteros,
Sir Nick Faldo, Padraig Harrington, Bernhard Langer, Arnold Palmer and Charl
Schwartzel alongside European Number Ones Robert Karlsson and Colin
Montgomerie. Four Spaniards, aside from Ballesteros, have also claimed the
title since 1972 – Antonio Garrido (1972), Alvaro Quiros (2010), Miguel Angel
Jiménez (2014) and Garcia himself in 2002.
