La Arboleda (Bizkaia), June 3. The 5th Bizkaia PGAe Open golf tournament, counting towards the 3rd TUMI Spain Golf Tour and to be held from June 19 to 21, was officially presented today at the Meaztegi public course in La Arboleda.<\/p>\n
The presentation event was attended by Carlos Alzaga, Provincial Council Member for Infrastructure and Territorial Development; Ander Mart\u00ednez, president of PGAe; Javier Saiz, president of the Federaci\u00f3n Vasca de Golf; Isabel Lafita, communications officer of the DalecandELA Foundation; and Carlos Roca, managing director of Meaztegi Golf.<\/p>\n
This tournament, launched in 2022, has been promoted from its inception by the Diputaci\u00f3n Foral de Bizkaia and the Spanish Association of Golf Professionals (PGAe) and, despite its youth, is considered the major of the national circuit due to the high level of participants, its prize money and an organization that year after year goes the extra mile to support and accompany the professionals taking part.<\/p>\n
More than one hundred golfers have already formalized their entry for this 5th Bizkaia PGAe Open and the final figure is expected to exceed 140.<\/p>\n
Among those registered, the presence of Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Olaz\u00e1bal once again stands out \u2014 winner of two Masters at Augusta, 23 European Tour titles, 4 PGA Tour titles and 4 Ryder Cups, a tournament in which he has also captained the European team.<\/p>\n
The participation of other European Tour winners such as \u00c1lvaro Quir\u00f3s, Santiago Luna, Jos\u00e9 Manuel Lara and Carlos Jos\u00e9 Suneson is also worth highlighting.<\/p>\n
Other important players who will be at Meaztegi include Carlos Balmaseda, Luis Claverie, Xavier Guzm\u00e1n and Jos\u00e9 Manuel Ruiz.<\/p>\n
Among the Basque golfers who have confirmed their participation are, among many others, Jes\u00fas Mar\u00eda Arruti (winner of numerous PGA championships and other national circuit tournaments), Javier S\u00e1inz (Spanish professional champion in 2024 and runner-up after a play-off in 2025) and Borja Mart\u00edn (winner of the Bizkaia PGAe Open in 2023).<\/p>\n
In addition to the professional tournament, the 5th Bizkaia PGAe Open includes other notable activities such as a Pro-Am Tournament, one of the great attractions of the week, with professional and amateur players sharing a team and enjoying a day of sport and camaraderie, without forgetting the charitable purpose that accompanies this festive competition. Once again this year, the funds raised during this Pro-Am tournament will go to the DalecandELA Foundation, an association that supports ALS patients and research into this disease.<\/p>\n
In addition, on Sunday the 21st, coinciding with the final day of the competition, a new edition of the children’s Pro-Am will be held, organized in collaboration with the Jon Rahm 4 Kids foundation, with the participation of all the golf schools of the Basque Country, as well as teams from Cantabria and Castilla-Le\u00f3n and, as a new feature this year, boys and girls from two French golf schools will also take part.
