SPANISH MID AMATEUR WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP 2026

See the general information and the list of participants below, in Related Content.

Forty-two players are vying this weekend, April 11 and 12, for a prestigious victory in the 2026 Spanish Women's Mid-Amateur Championship, a qualifying event for the National Women's Mid-Amateur and Senior Rankings held at Lauro Golf (Alhaurín de la Torre, Málaga).

The list of participants is headed by the defending champion, Basque player Irene Rollán, who last year secured her second victory by defeating Alicia Fajardo in a thrilling tiebreaker. This time, her opponent will not be the Canary Islander, currently a professional player, but rather another of her teammates on the National Mid-Amateur Team, Teresa Urquizu.

Another illustrious golfer we won't see in Lauro is three-time champion Ane Urchegui; however, her absence is more than compensated for by the magnificent field of senior players vying for the win. Macarena Campomanes, María de Orueta, María Castillo, Natalia Martínez-Reboredo, and Mónica Jessen are all expected to be among the frontrunners on Sunday in this tournament for players over 25.

With Cristina Cervera, the best in 2018, absent, Ane Urchegui, Alicia Fajardo and Irene Rollán have dominated the victories of this competition so far, with special mention for Ane Urchegui, who last year aspired to her fourth victory.

The tournament, which took over five years ago from the Spanish Women's Over 30 Championship, is played over two days without a cut.

History of a long-standing competition

In 2018, this tournament separated from its men's version, with which it had traditionally shared dates and venues. This shifted the focus to the over-30 golfers registered for the competition. With the new name, adopted in 2021, players over 25 were also admitted.

María de Orueta and Macarena Campomanes, both from Madrid, are the players with the best track record in the tournament: María de Orueta has won it thirteen times, while Macarena Campomanes has won it six times.
