Legendary professional golfer Arnold Palmer will continue in his role as a patron of the World Golfers Championship, scheduled Oct. 24-31 at the Marbella Golf Resort in Spain.
“Golf has truly become a global sport and the World Golfers Championship is a great indication of it,” he wrote to tournament organizer Sven Tumba of Sweden, who came up with the idea for the tournament expected to attract golfers from more than 25 countries 14 years ago.
“What I enjoy most about the World Golfers Championship is that all golfers, regardless of skill level, can participate and challenge golfers from all over the world in a fair competition,” Palmer added.
Addressing contestants, Palmer added that he was always pleased with the opportunity to represent the USA in such world-wide competitions and felt it was a “once-in-a lifetime experience” for all who qualify.
Anders Bengtson, President of World Golfers USA, indicated that clubs in the U.S. can conduct qualifying events between now and August to send a five-person team, one each from the following five handicap categories-0-5, 6-10, 11-15, 16-20 and 21-25. Entry fee is $600 per team or $1,000 if a club wants to send two teams. Go to www.worldgolfersusa.com for more information.
The U.S. team will be decided in a 36-hole qualifying Sept. 12-13 on the El Campeon (The Champion) and the Las Colinas (The Hills) golf courses at the Mission Inn Resort in Howey-in-the-Hills, FL.
