More than 140 Royal Andalucian Golf Federation tournaments are scheduled for 2018, starting with the Finnish Open at Lauro Golf. The annual calendar for the next 12 months features a diverse range of events with a special focus on those aimed at junior and young golfers – as “a key tenet of the federation’s philosophy”.

A new tournament that counts towards the World Amateur Golf Ranking, the Finnish Open will be held from 3 to 5 January at the Alhaurín de la Torre golf course, with the field comprising both Finnish and local golfers 21 years and under.
