Eight Spanish players—five women and three men—are participating in the European Men's and Women's Senior Individual Championships, taking place from Thursday, June 13th to Saturday, June 15th at the Kikuoka Country Club in Luxembourg. Macarena Campomanes and Jacobo Cestino, both past winners of the tournament, are leading the delegation.

The women's competition features fifty-four golfers, among whom the Madrid native stands out, having won the 2018 and 2019 editions. This year she arrives with a victory under her belt, having won the Vallromanes National Senior Grand Prix. Competing alongside her are María Castillo, Natalia Martínez-Reboredo, María Trallero, and Soledad Fernández de Araoz, the newly crowned Spanish champion.

The men's competition is larger, bringing together ninety golfers. Jacobo Cestino, winner of the 2020 edition – a particularly gratifying victory for Spanish golf, as María de Orueta completed the double – is in top form, having recently been crowned national champion in his category for the fourth consecutive time and securing victory at the Madrid Championship.

Alfonso Erhardt and Gonzalo Paradinas, winner of the Spanish Doubles Championship along with his brother Álvaro, complete the expedition.

As is customary, the tournament will be played in stroke play format over three rounds of 18 holes. The final round will be contested only by the top 54 players and ties in the men's competition and the top 33 players and ties in the women's competition.

A tournament with a distinctly Spanish influence

This tournament has left unforgettable moments for Spanish golf in recent years, starting with the memory of that Saturday in September 2020 in Hossegor (France) in which Cestino and De Orueta dominated the two titles at stake after resolving two high-level duels with the Frenchman Pierre Carpentier and the Canary Islander María Castillo.

Over these twenty years of competition, the tournament has seen victories by Miguel Preysler (2006) and Jacobo Cestino (2020) in the men's category, and by Rocío Ruiz de Velasco (2012), María de Orueta (2015 and 2020), and Macarena Campomanes (2016, 2018, and 2019) in the women's. Golfers such as Luis Javier Trenor, Catalina Castillejo, Juan Sánchez, Vicky Pertierra, Beatriz Ramírez de Haro, and María Castillo herself have also delivered outstanding performances.
