The Masters and the Spanish Golf Legacy at Augusta

Posted on by

Few tournaments in the world of golf evoke as much emotion and tradition as The Masters at Augusta National Golf Club. This tournament holds a special place in the Spanish golf legacy because of its prestige and the champions who’ve walked its fairways and donned the iconic Green Jacket.

It all began with Seve Ballesteros, who, in 1980, became the first European ever to win The Masters. Just 23 years old, Seve stunned the American crowd with his bold shot-making and unmatched charisma. He’d go on to win again in 1983, forever linking his name with Augusta’s legacy. His victory opened the gates for a new era of European contenders and a golden chapter for the Spanish golf legacy.

José María Olazábal followed in Seve’s footsteps, winning not once but twice, in 1994 and 1999. Quiet and precise, Olazábal was a master of Augusta’s undulating greens. His 1999 comeback win after a career-threatening injury remains one of the most emotional stories in Masters history. Many recall the embrace between him and his caddie at the 18th—pure magic.

The Unstoppable Spanish Golf Legacy

Then came Sergio García, whose dramatic playoff win in 2017 brought tears to the eyes of golf fans worldwide. After 73 attempts at majors without a win, Sergio broke through at Augusta on what would’ve been Seve’s 60th birthday. The tribute was unspoken but profound. That year, the Green Jacket was more than a trophy; it symbolised perseverance and destiny.

Jon Rahm‘s 2023 win was dominant (the last by a Spaniard) and remains a firm favourite this year. García will join him, still hungry and always dangerous at Augusta, Olazábal, playing both as past champions, and Jose Luis Ballester, who won the last U.S. Amateur.

Augusta is always full of surprises, and Spaniards again take centre stage. The Spanish golf legacy Seve started more than four decades ago is alive and well, and this week, all eyes will be on the azaleas—and García, Olazábal, Rahm and Ballester chasing history.

Posted on by


According to a recent report by MyGolfWay, INFINITUM, located in Tarragona, Spain, and one of Europe’s premier golf, lifestyle, and real estate destinations, has signed a three-year renewal with the DP World Tour. This agreement ensures that the prestigious Final Stage of Qualifying School will remain at INFINITUM until 2027.

The tournament will be held across the renowned Lakes (designed by golf legend Greg Norman) and Hills (by Alfonso Vidaor) courses. This will make it nine consecutive seasons of hosting this gruelling six-round golf marathon. Notably, the Hills course is set to undergo extensive upgrades as part of a long-term plan to enhance INFINITUM’s golfing facilities. Following a €800,000 renovation of the Lakes course earlier this year, these upgrades will ensure a world-class challenge for the 156 players competing for a coveted DP World Tour card.

This year’s Final Stage kicked off on November 8, with four rounds alternating between the Lakes and Hills courses before the field was cut. The final two rounds were contested solely at Lakes, known for its demanding yet rewarding layout.

In 2025, the initial rounds combined the Ruins and Hills courses, showcasing their versatility while the Hills’ back nine undergoes its transformation. Spearheading this ambitious renovation is European Golf Design, led by Dave Sampson, renowned for his work on Rome’s Marco Simone course, host of the 2023 Ryder Cup.

Adding to its busy calendar, INFINITUM will welcome the ECCO Tour in 2025 and 2026. These events will feature 156 professionals competing across three tournaments for a €150,000 prize fund, further solidifying INFINITUM’s position as a golfing powerhouse.

With elite facilities, including state-of-the-art driving ranges and the Callaway Performance Centre, INFINITUM is a golfer’s paradise. Beyond golf, its award-winning Beach Club and luxury real estate offerings make it a top choice for Spain golf holidays in Tarragona. Of course, it is best booked through Tee Times Golf Agency, your gateway to unforgettable experiences and the best golf packages in Spain.
