Final of the XIV San Miguel Andalucía Golf Challenge: these are the five winners of the trips to the Caribbean.

The XIV San Miguel Andalucía Golf Challenge ‘Destino República Dominicana by Globalia’ Circuit already has winners: Spaniards Domingo Gavira Esquivel, Jose María Gil Osorio, Mayte Castro Delma and José Labella Martínez and Norwegian Olav Andreas Maaland.

Los Arqueros, in the Costa del Sol municipality of Benahavís, was the scene of the grand finale of the Tour, which this year has been played in 24 Spanish courses, including some of the category of Real Club Valderrama, Finca Cortesín or Real Club Sevilla Golf.

A hundred players, classified directly by winning the Circuit tournaments or through the Benahavís Ranking (cumulative points by result in each event), met in the magnificent setting of Los Arqueros, a technical course designed by the legendary Severiano Ballesteros. At times the wind blew with relative intensity, which made the game difficult.

The final prizes are five one-week golf trips to the Dominican Republic with Air Europa flights, play at the Punta Espada, Teeth of the Dog, Dye Fore and PGA Ocean’s 4 courses and accommodation at the five-star Sunscape Dominicus La Romana hotel, nestled on one of the best beaches in the Caribbean.

The trips corresponded to the scratch and first and second category winners, as well as to the runners-up in both categories. They were, in that order, Domingo Gavira (36 scratch points), Jose María Gil (38), Mayte Castro (38), Olav Andreas Maaland (36) and José Labella (35). It so happens that two of these winners (Mayte and Olav) played with Autoflex rods, one of the collaborating firms of the Circuit.

In the evening, the Gala Dinner was held at the Alanda Marbella Hotel, an extraordinary five-star hotel located on Marbella’s famous Golden Mile, which marked the end of the 2024 Circuit.

The awards ceremony was attended by Javier Cochón and Jesús Núñez on behalf of Cervezas San Miguel, Renée Kachler from Turismo Costa del Sol, Gabriela Jones from Fairway+blue, Jesús Porro, from inversionesparavagos.com, and Luis Navarro and Antonio Sánchez, on behalf of the organization of the San Miguel Andalucía Golf Challenge Circuit.

After the awards ceremony, a drawing was held among all the finalists for an extra place to accompany the winners to the Caribbean, which went to César Gómez González. A number of people who have booked the vacation package created for this purpose to accompany the winners will also travel to the Dominican Republic.
