The Jarama-RACE Golf Club welcomes the highest level female golf professional circuit, Ladies European Tour, following an absence of nine years. This is the first edition of the Community of Madrid Ladies Open, a tournament that aspires to become a reference on the circuit and will be held from 2 to 8 May.

It is an international event in which the best players in Europe will be seen in action.  The top 126 players of the Ladies European Tour will be participating, among whom there will be around twenty Spaniards and prize money of €300,000.

This event is expected to attract more than 10,000 spectators and will be the first tournament to be played on European soil after events in Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Australia. The last time an event of this level was enjoyed was in 2013, with victory going to the South African player, Lee-Anne Pace, at the Spanish Open held at the Club de Campo Villa de Madrid.

In addition to the competition, several activities have been organised around golf, such as an exhibition of adapted golf, talks-clinic for women and juniors and training for university students.

One of the objectives of the event is to promote elite women’s sport, encourage the habit of physical exercise among the population and position itself on the world map for a potential premium visitor. Madrid boasts around 30,000 female golf licenses.

The Community of Madrid Ladies Open is sponsored by the Community of Madrid; the Spanish Royal Golf federation (RFEG), the Madrid Golf Federation (FGM) and Deporte & Business (D&B); the Jarama-RACE Golf Club; Kyocera, MAhou, PING, Solán de Cabras, Titleist and Volvo.
