The Gambito Golf Club Calatayud course, which has hosted important professional tournaments in recent years, will host the Iberdrola Calatayud Ladies Open from October 3 to 5, a women's competition integrated into the LET Access Series promotion circuit.
The LETAS is a prestigious series of professional women's golf tournaments held from March to October 2024 in various European cities. This circuit represents the second tier of professional women's golf on the continent, serving as a stepping stone to the Ladies European Tour.
For the third consecutive year, Gambito Golf Club Calatayud will host the LET Access Series – Iberdrola Calatayud Ladies Open, a major event in international women's professional golf. This year's tournament is notable not only for its high level of competition but also for its role in promoting the sporting and tourist attractions of Calatayud and the province of Zaragoza.
The Iberdrola Calatayud Ladies Open will feature 108 professional players from 24 different countries. It's worth noting that more than 60 players are currently on the waiting list, hoping to enter the tournament.
However, the rankings follow a rigorous European Tour LET Access Series Order of Merit. Among the prominent Spanish players competing are golfers with impressive track records, such as María Herráez, Clara Moyano, and María Parra.
Also of great interest is the participation of recent tournament winners, such as the Swedes Kajsa Arwefjall and Anna Magnusson, and the Dane Natacha Host. Kajsa Arwefjall also leads the Order of Merit standings, having been named rookie of the year.
Of particular note will be the participation of local player María Velilla, 17 years old, who with a handicap of +0.5 has been trained at the Calatayud Golf School, which represents a source of pride for the city of Calatayud.
With this initiative, Gambito Golf Club Calatayud continues to advance towards its goal of consolidating Calatayud and the province of Zaragoza as benchmarks in the field of sporting excellence. To this end, it offers a completely renovated course and top-notch facilities.
Furthermore, the event has the support and collaboration of the Calatayud City Council, the Government of Aragon, Turismo Aragón, and the Calatayud Region, which are among the tournament's main official sponsors. These joint efforts aim to boost sports tourism in the region and showcase the rich cultural, historical, and natural heritage of the city and its surroundings.
The tournament also has the valuable support of sponsoring companies that make this event possible, including Iberdrola, Mahou-San Miguel, Volvo, Schweppes, Ron Dos Maderas, Solán de Cabras, DF Grupo, Reale Seguros, Galpe Seguros, Veolia, Viñas del Vero, Cubical, Pepsi as well as the Let Access Series, the Aragonese Golf Federation and the Royal Spanish Golf Federation.
