Ryder Cup 2031 in Camiral, Costa Brava: It’s Official!
After a long negotiation process, it’s finally official: the 2031 Ryder Cup will be held at Camiral, on the Costa Brava, near Barcelona. This is a significant achievement for the region and a recognition of Spain’s strong golfing tradition.
This will mark the second time Spain hosts this prestigious tournament, 34 years after Seve Ballesteros led Europe to victory in Valderrama in 1997. This makes Spain the first country in continental Europe to host the event twice, highlighting the substantial contribution of Spanish golf to the Ryder Cup’s history.
Hosting the Ryder Cup at Camiral and on the Costa Brava not only solidifies the region’s position as a premier golf destination, but is also expected to generate significant economic and tourism impact. The Costa Brava and Barcelona are already renowned for their ability to host major international sporting events, from the 1992 Olympic Games to regular Formula 1 and MotoGP fixtures, ensuring top-tier infrastructure and organizational expertise.
This global event will attract visitors from around the world, boosting golf and leisure tourism. It represents a unique opportunity to position Catalonia on the global map of sport and quality tourism, projecting its image to millions of spectators and leaving a lasting legacy in the region.

Two Catalunya Events Added to 2022 DP World Tour Schedule
The Catalan region will be hosting two new events on this year’s DP World Tour. The Spanish double-header begins with the ISPS Handa Championship at Infinitum (Tarragona) from April 21 to 24, followed by the Catalunya Championship at PGA Catalunya Golf and Wellness (Girona) from April 28 to May 1. Each tournament will have a prize fund of US$2 million.
Previously known as Lumine, Infinitum Golf was a second stage Qualifying School venue from 2012 until it succeeded PGA Catalunya as host venue for the Qualifying School final from 2017 to 2019.
A European Tour Destination, PGA Catalunya Golf and Wellness was the Qualifying School final venue for nine consecutive years from 2008 to 2016, and it has also hosted four full Tour events: the 1999 Sarazen World Open won by Thomas Bjørn, and three Open de España events, in 2000, 2009 and 2014. In winning the latter, Miguel Ángel Jiménez extended his own record as the Tour’s oldest winner – to 50 years and 133 days.
Two other events on the DP World Tour (formerly the European Tour) are scheduled for Spain this year: the Acciona Open de España Presented by Madrid from 6 to 9 October at Club de Campo Villa de Madrid; and the Estrella Damm N.A. Andalucía Masters from 13-16 October at Royal Valderrama Club. The week of 20-23 October is currently open for a yet-to-be-confirmed European event which may also be held in Spain.

Spain Aces Golf Wish List
It would have been a shock to learn otherwise but Spain has been suffering something of a battering in recent years on various well-documented fronts. On this occasion, however, no unpleasant surprises: according to a new study of European golfers, the country maintains its supremacy as the most popular travel destination for visitors from the UK, France, Germany and Scandinavia.
More than 28 per cent of the respondents had played golf in Spain over the previous 12 months, citing such favourable key contributing factors as the standard and range of the country’s golf courses, consistent levels of high quality accommodation and the favourable year-round climate.
The findings were part of a new research document entitled “European Spotlight on Golf Tourism to Spain”, commissioned by Reed Travel Exhibitions, organisers of IGTM (which will be held from 11 to 14 November at Costa Daurada in Cataluña) and produced by Sports Marketing Surveys Inc.
Second in popularity behind Spain was Portugal (17 per cent), followed by Great Britain & Ireland (16.1 per cent), Turkey (7.5 per cent), France (7.1 per cent) and United States (6.9 per cent).
