The 2024 National Senior Ranking celebrates its second event this weekend, April 20th and 21st, at the Real Club Golf Lomas Bosque (Villaviciosa de Odón, Madrid). This Madrid Senior Men's Championship brings together eighty-seven golfers, with three-time Spanish champion Jacobo Cestino leading the field.
