Munich/Los Cabos. To feel like a professional at a major
tournament – this dream, the dream of every amateur golfer, is set
to come true this week for the national champions of the BMW Golf
Cup International, who have qualified for the World Final of what,
with roughly 100,000 participants, is the largest amateur tournament
series in the world. A once-in-a-lifetime experience and two
breath-taking golf courses, designed by Jack Nicklaus and Tom
Weiskopf (both USA), await in the Mexican municipality of Los Cabos,
on the Baja California Peninsula.
“We have a good tradition of offering our customers a very special
experience with the World Final of the BMW Golf Cup International. We
are very much looking forward to visiting Los Cabos for the first
time, where we will find perfect conditions for an excellent World
Final,” says Christian Masanz, Head of BMW Golfsport Marketing.
“Breath-taking golf courses, an exclusive resort and the lovingly
compiled social programme – that is what the world finalists have to
look forward to. Above all, however, they can look forward to meeting
the golf fans from 34 different countries who always give the World
Final its own unique flair.”
Los Cabos is located at the southern tip of Baja California, where
the Pacific meets the Sea of Cortez, and has a spectacular mix of
mountains, desert and ocean. The World Final will be played at the
breath-taking Cabo del Sol resort, which boasts two outstanding golf
courses in the Ocean Course (design: Jack Nicklaus) and the Desert
Course (design: Tom Weiskopf). In close proximity is the exclusive
“Sheraton Grand Los Cabos Hacienda del Mar” resort, in which the world
finalists and roughly 220 guests will be accommodated.
A World Final of the BMW Golf Cup International would not be complete
without a golf legend as a special guest, on hand to give the
finalists a golf clinic and present the trophies. And who better to
take on that role than one of the biggest names in golf: Eight-time
winner of the European Tour Order of Merit, Scotland’s Colin Montgomerie.
The World Final is played in three categories: Men A (up to handicap
12), Men B (handicap 13 to 28) and Ladies (up to handicap 28).
Preliminary tournaments have been held in each of the participating
nations, with the winners of these tournaments and their companions
invited to the World Final. As well as the titles in the three
categories, there is also a National Team competition, which has been
won by Team Thailand for the past two years.
