A year ago, on the Aguilón Golf course, Carlos Balmaseda won after putting on a sensational golf display, beating the duo of Miguel Ángel Martín and Santiago Luna by eight strokes, who shared second place.

Juan Quirós, aiming for his fourth consecutive victory among the Super Seniors

It's also worth noting that in the Super Senior category (over 65 years old), last year's winner was Juan Quirós, who is aiming for his fourth consecutive victory. The golfer from Cádiz, who debuted in this age group in 2021, dominated from start to finish, beating José Antonio Salgado, winner of the previous two editions, by eight strokes.

In 2022, Juan Quirós also put on a spectacular display to secure the victory, beating José Antonio Salgado and Emilio Rodríguez by 13 and 14 strokes, respectively. A year later, Juan Quirós's dominance was further solidified with a victory achieved by a margin of five and eight strokes over Domingo Hospital and Emilio Rodríguez.

The Andalusian player also boasts a brilliant sporting record that includes dozens of international and national tournaments. Among them are four victories on the European Senior Tour and the Spanish Senior Professional Championships in 2009 and 2011.

Two important tournaments in one: Senior and Super Senior

The celebration of this tournament simultaneously houses two competitions, the Senior category itself (over 50 years old) and the Super Senior (over 65 years old), whose members fight for that independent title playing from specific bars.

The competition will take place over three days, with 18 holes played on each day.
