The Ladies European Tour is pleased to announce the Catalonia Ladies 2008 event, which will take place from 12-13 April at Empordà Golf Hotel and Spa in Girona, Spain.
This special event will be open to the top 15 professionals on the 2007 final exemption ranking or New Star Money List along with five invitations making a field of 20 players who will compete for a €60,000 prize fund.
The format of the event will be 36 holes stroke play. The first round will be played as a pro-am with the professionalS' individual score to count while the second round will be played by the professional golfers only.
“We are pleased to offer our membership the opportunity to return to Catalonia,” said Alexandra Armas, executive director of the Ladies European Tour. “The top players in European golf will once again return to the Costa Brava region, which is sure to host a fantastic event.”
Ivan Corretja, managing director of Double Match, the event promoters, said: “We have worked very hard together with Catalunya Turisme to keep holding an event in the region this year.
"It has not been easy but we hope to make of this event a very special one that will allow us to come back in the next years having in our fields the biggest names of women’s golf as we did have in the past with players participating like Lorena Ochoa, Laura Davies, Sophie Gustafson, Gwladys Nocera, Karine Icher, Paula Martí and many others.”
The Empordà Golf course offers a total of 36 holes and is divided into two separate 18-hole courses: the Links and the Forest. Designer Robert von Hagge chose to integrate a links-style course with two large lakes, dunes and rolling bunkers into a classic Mediterranean landscape replete with dense, manicured pine trees and spacious fairways.
The course is located in stunning El Baix Empordà in the heart of the Costa Brava region.
In the late 1990s, Empordà Golf was named one of the 10 best courses in Spain. It was also ranked 13th for design in all of continental Europe by “Peugeot Golf Guide 1996”. For further information about the venue log on to: www.empordagolf.com.
