The total amount to be awarded comes to € 275,000 euros. The tournament will take place in four rounds, and there will be a cut at the half-way point for the best sixty players.
This year the province will host the two biggest golf events in 2008. The Mediterráneo Country Club in Borriol will host the Men’s European Tour for the first time.The Masters-Castellón Costa Azahar will take place at the end of the year and will count on Sergio García’s presence (he wants to win at the course where he was raised), as well as other number-one world golfers. The Castellon-based tournament is awarding two million euros in prizes.But prior to this tournament, the women’s tournament will take place at Panorámica. Founded in 1995, this course was designed by the prestigious German golfer, Bernhard Langer. Its 18-hole course is set among carob and hundred-year old olive trees that mark out its characteristic rolling hills that have helped to trace the course but, at the same time, have increased its difficulty, as a large number of clubs are required.
