Tenerife To Host Ladies Open European Tour 2012
August 3, 2012Taking place from 20 to 23 September 2012 on Golf Las Americas, the Tenerife Spanish Ladies Open 2012 will see over 120 female golf players head to the sunny climes of Tenerife for an intense four-day international tournament. With a prize fund of 350,000 euros and listed on the Ladies European Tour schedule, it is the most important golf tournament to be held in Spain this year and is expected to further cement Tenerife’s position as an excellent choice for experienced golfers and amateurs alike.
Starting the week after the Women’s British Open, the Tenerife Spanish Ladies Open 2012 is one of the 18 professional golf tournaments that have been held in Tenerife since 1964 and this year will mark the island’s fifteenth time of hosting.
Among the 26 players representing 24 different nations are British players Melissa Reid (former winner) and the legendary Laura Davies (winner in 2010). Other British competing talents include Becky Brewerton, Carly Booth, Felicity Johnson, Florentyna Parker and Rebecca Hudson.
The 18 hole venue, Golf Las Americas, is a longstanding favourite among golf holidaymakers thanks to the incomparable weather conditions, its proximity to golf-friendly accommodation, and the overall facilities available, including an impressive club house overlooking the ocean. What’s more, having staged up to 4 professional tournaments, in addition to the forthcoming Spanish Ladies Open, the John Jacobs masterpiece has been hailed as one of the best championship golf courses in Spain for professional tournaments.
