2024 US Open: golf’s biggest stars head to Pinehurst

The US Open is just around the corner. Mark your calendars for June 13-16, 2024, as the legendary Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina is set to host this thrilling major tournament.

Pinehurst No. 2, a course that commands respect, is renowned for its challenging nature. Crafted by Donald Ross and enhanced by Ben Crenshaw and Bill Coore, it’s famous for its demanding turtleback greens. These greens challenge even the most skilled players, requiring a masterful short game for a good score. With its sandy waste areas and minimal roughness, the course demands precision and strategic play.

US Open lineup

The lineup of players for the US Open is a testament to the tournament’s prestige. It mixes seasoned pros, past champions, and promising new talent. The competition to secure a spot in the US Open is fierce, with players earning their place through rankings, past performances, and regional tournaments. The spotlight will be on last year’s champion, Wyndham Clark, as he defends his title, the world number one Scottie Scheffler, Jon Rahm, Rory McIlroy, and the legendary Tiger Woods.

Tiger Woods, a fifteen-time major champion, has accepted a special exemption to participate in the US Open. Woods, who has won this open thrice, last took home the trophy in 2008. His return adds even more excitement to an already star-studded event, as golf lovers are eager to see if the legendary golfer can recapture some of his past magic on one of the sport’s biggest stages.

For fans, the US Open is always a thrill. The coverage will be extensive, whether you’re lucky enough to be there in person or catch it on TV. Major sports networks and online streaming platforms will ensure you take advantage of every moment of the action.

In short, the 2024 US Open at Pinehurst No. 2 will be an epic showdown. With its challenging course and top-tier players, it’s set to be a highlight of the golfing year. Get ready for some unforgettable golf!

The Battle of Stars: golfing for a cause in Mallorca

Pula Golf Resort, in collaboration with the Golf Club Son Servera, is preparing for the next edition of The Battle of Stars, which will kick off on Thursday, June 13, in Mallorca, in a remarkable display of sportsmanship and solidarity. During two rounds, this charity tournament aims to raise funds and attention for ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and multiple sclerosis. The participation of renowned athletes and celebrities such as Rafa Nadal, Marcos Alonso, Pep Guardiola, Feliciano López, Pepe Reina, Gabriel Batistuta, and Antonio Orozco not only turns this event into a high-profile occasion but also inspires and motivates to contribute to this noble cause. This second edition, initiated by Pula Golf Resort and supported by Mallorca, promises a memorable experience.

The Battle of Stars offers amateur golfers a unique and exciting opportunity to play alongside world-class figures over two days filled with purpose and social impact. Among the notable participants will be Juan Carlos Unzué, a former footballer and coach who has become a symbol of the fight against ALS. This rare chance to share the course with these stars is a privilege that should not be missed.

The Battle of Stars support

The tournament is bolstered by the support of Golf East Mallorca, Fundación Mallorca Turismo, Cap Vermell Grand Hotel, Inmobiliaria Sa Coma, and Banco Santander, ensuring its resounding success. The picturesque Pula Golf Resort and the scenic Golf Club Son Servera will showcase their world-class facilities and beautiful landscapes. They are famous among the most sought-after destinations for Spain golf holidays.

Pula Golf Resort, a unique venue that hosted the Mallorca Classic on the DP World Tour for seven years, was redesigned by two-time Masters champion José María Olazábal between 2004 and 2006. Established in 1995, Pula Golf was transformed into a premier golf course, a par-72 spanning 6,246 meters, with 14 of its 18 holes offering views of the green from the tee. Pula Golf is known for hosting significant events like the PGA European Tour Championships Mallorca and the Olazábal and Nadal Invitational.

On the other hand, Golf Club Son Servera, designed by John Harris and Francisco López Segales, opened in 1967 and expanded from 9 to 18 holes in 2012. Situated on the northeastern coast of Mallorca, Son Servera offers a typical parkland course running through pine trees with stunning sea views of Cala Millor bay.

Together, Pula Golf and Club and Son Servera provide the perfect backdrop for The Battle of Stars, blending the beauty of Mallorca with the spirit of solidarity and sportsmanship.
