The prize fund has seen significant growth, doubling from 6,000 euros in its first edition to 12,000 euros for this third event. This increase highlights the commitment to continuity and enhancing the scope of a competition that merges sport, tourism, and destination promotion.
The Pro-Am, starting Saturday, November 7, at 10:00 AM with a shotgun start, will feature teams of three amateur players and one professional, competing in a scramble format. Prizes will be awarded to the top three teams, followed by a closing lunch at El Piconero restaurant.
