SPANISH ADAPTED GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP 2026
See the information and registration method below, in Related Content.
The Spanish Adapted Golf Championship celebrates its sixteenth edition this weekend, September 19th and 20th, at the Las Pinaillas Golf Club (Albacete). It will feature the two main protagonists in its history: Juan Postigo from Cantabria (seven titles) and Antonio Llerena from Valencia (six).
Postigo has been the dominant force in Spanish Adapted Golf in recent years, adding two G4D Tour victories to his record. Llerena, whose last title dates back to 2023, has a perfect opportunity to equal the Cantabrian's record.
The list of contenders to challenge both golfers includes 'classics' such as Luis Mora, Álvaro Luengo, Fernando Vega de Seoane, Adolfo Lena, Marc Oller or Andrés Pintado; former winners such as Francisco Centeno and Xavi Rubio, or young and promising talents such as Santiago Hernández and Patricia Roldán.
The total number of participants amounts to 53.
Two competitions, three trophies
Yes, titles, plural, because for the seventh edition there are three trophies to be awarded. Let's take a look. As every year, the tournament is divided into two simultaneous competitions: the Spanish Adapted Golf Championship and the Spanish Cup. The first is played in Stroke Play format over 36 holes and is contested by players with a handicap up to 18.4 who hold a Medical Pass, while the second is reserved for golfers with a handicap of 18.5 or higher (also holding a Medical Pass) and is played using the Stableford system, also over 36 holes.
Simultaneously, the Federation Cup is played, created in 2019 and intended for those players with an exact handicap equal to or less than 28 and without a Medical Pass, but who can prove at least a 33% disability.
As in the previous fifteen editions, the event has been specifically sponsored by the RFEG Adapted Golf Committee to give more opportunities to access this sport to people with different disabilities.
From Xavi Rubio's triumph to the duel between Llerena and Postigo
This Spanish Championship has become a key event for Spanish Adapted Golf. It was inaugurated at the National Golf Center in 2010 with a victory for Xavi Rubio from Catalonia. In 2011, in Villaitana (Alicante), Francisco Centeno succeeded him, adding to the list of winners. Antonio Llerena (2012, 2013, 2017, 2019, 2021 and 2023) has six titles, and Juan Postigo (2014, 2015, 2016, 2018, 2022, 2024 and 2025) has seven.
This Championship will be played in accordance with the Rules established by the EDGA (European Disabled Golf Association) and following the “Modifications to the Rules of Golf for Disabled Players” edited by the Rules Committee of the RFEG and approved by R&A Limited.
