Tickets for the tournament are now available at this link starting from €20 (for members and their family and friends), with free entry for children under 13 and discounts for those under 18.
Pablo Larrazábal, winner of nine DP World Tour titles, started the season strong by securing a top-five finish at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic, and will fight to add to his impressive record in Andalusia.
The winner of the Sir Henry Cotton title for best rookie of the year in 2008 is looking for his second title in a tournament held in his home country after winning the ISPS Handa Championship in Spain in 2022.
“The Real Club de Golf Sotogrande is a special golf course, an impressive venue for the Estrella Damm NA Andalucía Masters,” says Larrazábal.
“I’m lucky to have won at home in the past, but winning in Andalusia in front of our fans would be very special.”.
Jorge Campillo, with three DP World Tour titles to his name, won the Magical Kenya Open presented by Absa last year, a milestone that helped him secure a spot on the PGA TOUR, and is looking forward to returning to Spain for a crucial stage of the DP World Tour's Race to Dubai.
“It’s going to be wonderful to come back home and play the Andalucía Masters at such an important time of the season for us,” Campillo says.
“The course is spectacular and I’m really looking forward to playing in Sotogrande and improving on my top 20 finish from last year. I’ve never won in Spain and that’s always been one of my goals.”.
Nacho Elvira has had a very consistent season, only missing one cut in nine DP World Tour tournaments, with a runner-up finish at the Magical Kenya Open as his best result.
The 37-year-old made his DP World Tour debut at the Cazoo Open supported by Gareth Bale in 2021 and will try to add another title this year in Sotogrande.
“I’m thrilled to be playing the Andalucía Masters again,” he explains. “It’s always special to play in Spain and I’m really looking forward to it.” “This tournament gives us the opportunity to play on one of the best courses in Spain and it’s going to be a great week.”.
Arnaus earned his playing privileges on the DP World Tour by winning the Challenge Tour Grand Final in Ras Al Khaimah to finish second in the rankings in 2018, and has been on the tour ever since.
The 29-year-old golfer made his DP World Tour debut at home by winning the Catalunya Championship, and is delighted with the possibility of playing in front of the home crowd again in San Roque.
“Having the chance to play in front of a big crowd at home is always exciting. Last year I really enjoyed myself in Sotogrande and finished in the top 20,” he says.
I won my first DP World Tour tournament in Spain at the Catalunya Championship, and it was one of the highlights of my career. It's going to be another memorable week, and I'm really looking forward to October.
