Volvo Masters Amateur Golf Club

As the Grand Finale of the European Tour, the Volvo Masters has built a worldwide reputation for quality and is recognised as one of the most important professional golf tournaments in the world.

Building on this standing, in 2003 Volvo launched a major global amateur tournament called the Volvo Masters Amateur, which culminates in a World Final that takes place each year at the end of October, to coincide with the Volvo Masters professional tournament held at Valderrama, Spain.

The Volvo Masters Amateur sees up to 80,000 amateur golfers of all ages and abilities competing each year in over 22 countries. Through a series of local, regional and national qualifying tournaments, a total of about 72 players qualify to compete in the Volvo Masters Amateur World Final.

World Finalists are afforded all the advantages and benefits available to the professionals at nearby Valderrama, from courtesy car pick-ups to custom club fitting sessions and five-star hotel accommodation.

This year, the Volvo Masters Amateur World Final will be held at The Westin La Quinta Golf Resort, Marbella, Spain from October 30th to November 4th 2008.
