Staysure Marbella Legends is about to tee off at the Aloha Golf Club with a lineup of some of the most superstar veteran figures of the golf world, such as Paul Lawrie, Ian Woosnam, Colin Montgomerie, Miguel Ángel Jiménez and José María Olazábal. This historic event is the first time the Costa del Sol has been chosen to start the Legends Tour and will bring together 60 of the best veteran golf legends from 17 countries, including Majors winners, 12 Ryder Cup players, 41 European Tour winners, and 30 Legends Tour winners. Turismo Costa del Sol’s Esperanza González presented the event at the prestigious Aloha Golf Club, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary, one of the most magnificent of its kind in the world. She said that it was a real point of pride for the city, which will fix Costa del Sol as a world leader in golf tourism. As pointed out by the councillor for sport, Lisandro Vieytes, the event has already started with some of the most celebrated golfers going up against amateur players and the occasional celebrity, with the tournament due to culminate at the weekend. ‘Many fans will have the unique opportunity to share at least 18 holes in competition with their idols in what is, without a doubt, a tribute to legends who have marked a before and after in the world history of this sport,’ said the councillor. According to the players who have already arrived, the course is in its optimum condition following recent rains and fair weather predicted for the duration of the tournament. Supported by the Junta de Andalucía and Marbella Town Hall, this tournament reinforces the strategy of promoting golf as a key segment on the ‘Costa del Golf’. As well as the competition, the event will offer exclusive one-offs, such as the Legends Experience, meetings between fans and legendary players, parallel activities, and media coverage that will increase the visibility of the destination internationally. By taking place on this benchmark course, Staysure Marbella Legends positions the Costa del Sol as an essential destination for golf lovers, and it strengthens the global appeal of this part of the world as the best for sports tourism. The event at Aloha Golf in Marbella is free to enter for spectators and runs until Sunday, February 16.
