The prestigious Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande Cup, the European Nations Championship, brings together the leading European powers, both men's and women's, this week, from March 26th to 29th, on the Cádiz course, which for decades has been a testing ground for emerging talent. Once again, Spain fields two strong teams with the intention of winning again, as the women did in 2023 and the men in 2022.
The competition, which returned to the calendar in 2022 after a two-year absence, simultaneously holds the men's event, with four members per team, and the women's event, with three, as has always been done.
The Spanish women's trio, the last team to win the title, arrives at the competition in excellent form, boasting several impressive individual victories. The team consists of Nagore Martínez from Barcelona, champion of the Copa de SM La Reina; Lucía Iraola from Gipuzkoa, winner of the recent Spanish Under-18 Championship; and Amanda Revuelta from Madrid, who finished in the Top 10 at the same tournament.
The men's team is also made up of golfers on the rise. Pablo Alperi from Asturias, the current Spanish Absolute Champion; Alberto Domínguez from Galicia, who trained in Andalusia and won the Balearic Cup in December; Raúl Gómez from Alicante, a semifinalist in the King's Cup; and Marcel Fonseca from Barcelona, winner of last year's Castilla-La Mancha Men's Championship, form a formidable quartet.
It's worth remembering that the competition returned to RCG Sotogrande in 2017 after several editions at the neighboring La Reserva de Sotogrande course. During that period, the prestigious club in San Roque (Cádiz) undertook a complete restoration, resulting in a spectacular course with greens restored to their original size, 100% Bermuda fairways, new black tees, and more.
Spain has a very positive track record in the RCG Sotogrande Cup
Starting with the women's side of the competition, the host team's aim is to maintain the good results achieved in numerous editions, with special mention for the eight titles won by Spain (2008, 2010, 2011, 2013, 2015, 2016 and 2023).
In the men's event, Spain achieved two consecutive victories, in 2005 and 2006, and the aforementioned one in 2022, apart from the fact that on numerous occasions it has been very close to reaching first place, demonstrating the high level of competition established in a tournament of the highest continental level.
Four days of high tension
According to the regulations, each participating country fields a men's team of four players and a women's team of three players. Their daily scores—the three best for the men and the two best for the women—are tallied to determine the final standings. The competition is played in stroke play format over the four days of the event. An individual competition is held concurrently.
