La Manga pro-am to offer €20,000 prize money
Following La Manga Club’s renewed association with the PGAs of Europe bookings are now open for the officially sanctioned international pro-am that will take place early next year.
Once the continental European base of the PGAs of Europe, the Spanish venue has revived its relationship with the organisation and will host the first La Manga Club International Pro-Am from March 7-11, 2014.
The tournament will see 30 teams from across the continent – made up of one professional and three amateurs – gather at La Manga Club to contest an overall prize fund in excess of €20,000 (based on 20 teams).
Golfers can claim a place in the event for €750 per person by booking before December 15.
Participants will compete over 54 holes on the resort’s South and West courses for individual and team honours, with packages costing €2,250 per team prior to the early booking deadline (professionals go free) including tournament entry, one practice round and practice balls each day.
In addition, the packages – which are based on two people sharing a room – include four nights’ bed and breakfast accommodation in La Manga Club’s five-star Hotel Principe Felipe, a welcome reception, light lunch on the four competition days and prize-giving gala dinner and ceremony.
Players, who must have a valid handicap certificate, will also have complimentary use of Spa La Manga Club’s fitness centre, indoor pool, saunas and steam rooms and dinner discounts at selected restaurants around the resort.
The tournament will be the second major international event that La Manga Club will stage early next year, with the resort set to host the 2014 Spanish Seniors Amateur Championship in February.
