The 107th Puerta de Hierro Cup: Pride, History, and the Future of Amateur Golf at Club de Golf Barcelona
From May 21st to 25th, Club de Golf Barcelona once again becomes the heart of national and international amateur golf as it hosts the 107th edition of the Puerta de Hierro Cup. This is more than just a tournament. It’s a meeting with history, emotion, and the future of golf—a place where legends are born and dreams are forged.
A Tournament That Boosts Future Stars
The Puerta de Hierro Cup is not only one of the most prestigious tournaments on the national calendar, but also a unique platform for amateur golfers who dream of leaving their mark on the global golf scene. A total of 112 players will compete for the title under the demanding Stroke Play format during the first two rounds, then move on to the thrilling Match Play bracket over the weekend. Every shot, every hole, is an opportunity to grow, learn, and prove that the future of Spanish golf is more alive than ever.
History and Role Models: A Legendary Record
The tournament returns to our club for the second time, and we cannot forget the achievement of David Puig, who at just 15 years old, etched his name into history by winning the 100th edition in 2017. The Puerta de Hierro Cup has seen the rise of great figures such as José María Olazábal (1984) and Sergio García (1998)—prime examples that champions capable of shining on the international stage are forged here.
Club de Golf Barcelona: The Stage for Great Moments
Hosting the Puerta de Hierro Cup is a source of pride and a great responsibility for us. Our club is consolidated as a benchmark in organizing major sporting events, offering top-level facilities and an incomparable environment for both competition and the enjoyment of golf. Each edition reinforces our commitment to excellence, the development of new talent, and the promotion of golf at all levels.
Looking to the Future: Players to Watch
Among this year’s participants are rising stars and established amateurs who are already making waves on the national scene. Names like Jorge Hao, Jaime Montojo, Pablo Alperi, Pablo García, Álvaro Portillo, and José Luis Ballester, among others, promise intense emotions and a sporting spectacle worthy of the tournament’s history.
An Invitation to Golf Enthusiasts
From Club de Golf Barcelona, we encourage all golf lovers and the local community to join us and experience the excitement of the Puerta de Hierro Cup. Following the tournament means witnessing the birth of new legends and the effort of those who, with passion and hard work, pursue their dreams.
A Tribute to the Champion, Álex de Castro
This edition is especially emotional for all of us. Last year, Álex de Castro claimed the title in an unforgettable final. His absence this year, due to his participation in the regional university finals in the United States, leaves a mark of admiration and pride on our club. Álex represents the spirit of perseverance and the international projection of the young talents who are born and grow within our club. We wish him the greatest success in his international career!
