Palma de Mallorca, Spain (December 13, 2012)
– Leading
Spanish hospitality brand IBEROSTAR Hotels &
Resorts
continues to enrich its golf offerings in Mexico
and the
Caribbean with the introduction of the brand’s
first-ever
IBEROSTAR Golf Team Championship Mexico
tournament at the
award-winning IBEROSTAR Cancun in Mexico,
February 24 –
28, 2013.
The tournament battlegrounds are the
IBEROSTAR Cancun Golf
Club and IBEROSTAR Playa Paraíso Golf Club in
Riviera Maya,
par-72 championship courses designed by
legendary golfers
Isao Aoki and P.B. Dye respectively. At Playa
Paraíso, P.B.
Dye’s signature undulating greens may spell
trouble in paradise
for players, while the flatter Cancun course
with its swirling
winds creates shot making challenges on every
hole.
Participants will have the option to field their
teams in two
ways - either as a member of a PRO-AM team
comprised of a
PGA club professional and three amateur
golfers, or as an AM-
AM team made up of two amateur players, who
will be paired
with a different twosome each day. The teams
will compete in
two separate PRO-AM and AM-AM divisions
over the course of
six simultaneous tournaments on a daily and
overall basis. Both
professional and amateur golfers will also have
the option to
compete in separate individual competitions
and hole contests
which will be staged concurrently within the
tournament. This
unique format will offer players of all skill levels
the opportunity
to experience the thrill of competitive golf and
have something
to play for each day.
In the PRO-AM division, tournament players will
vie for a
$5,000 USD Pro Purse, while the AM-AM
competitors will vie for
daily team and on-course prizes valued at
more than $10,000
USD, including return stays to IBEROSTAR
resorts, airline
tickets, and premier golf equipment.
Tournament entry packages include 5-day/4-
night deluxe
ocean view accommodations at the all-
inclusive IBEROSTAR
Cancun, featuring world-class amenities such
as gourmet
dining and premium alcoholic beverages. The
package
additionally includes three rounds of
tournament golf for
players. Packages for amateur players are
priced at $1,999
USD for single occupancy and $1,425 USD for
double
occupancy. Guests of tournament players may
purchase a
package for $999 USD (double occupancy).
