INFINITUM will play the Denmark-based ECCO Tour for the first time in the tournament’s 22-year history after agreeing to a two-year partnership for three consecutive tournaments in Spain.
In the 2025 season, the tour will grace INFINITUM’s fairways for the ECCO Tour Spring Series, which includes three tournaments within two weeks from February 21 to March 5 with a total pot of €150,000.
The events – part of the Nordic Golf League, which also features the national professional golf tours of Sweden and Finland – will return to INFINITUM in 2026.
The full field of 156 professionals, all arriving with fresh hopes of finding their way to the Challenge Tour, will have full access to world-class facilities – including the new Callaway Fitting Studio – and will stay at the nearby Hotel Blaumar, a stone’s throw from the Mediterranean Sea.
The ECCO Tour deal comes at an exciting time for INFINITUM, where the resort is currently investing heavily in the development of changes to all its offerings. An €800,000 refurbishment of the Greg Norman-designed Lakes course was announced earlier this year, while the second phase of the ambitious real estate project is underway following the huge success of its first phase.
INFINITUM regularly hosts prestigious events, organizing the DP World Tour’s ISPS Handa Championship in Spain in 2022 and the DP World Tour’s Qualifying School Stage will return to the resort in November for the sixth time.
Joaquín Mora Bertrán, deputy general manager of golf, beach club and F&B at INFINITUM, said: “It will be our pleasure to welcome the ECCO Tour to INFINITUM for the first time next February. This partnership is another great opportunity to witness some of Europe’s up-and-coming players on their journey to the top of the game, as we’ve seen with many DP World Tour stars who shined on the ECCO Tour.
“Over the years of working with the DP World Tour, we have learned exactly what it takes to host a high-quality event, and we look forward to many new players seeing our resort for the first time.”
Flemming Astrup, owner and managing director of the ECCO Tour, said: “We are delighted to be able to continue our 15-year tradition of starting the season in Spain, and we are delighted to be working with the fantastic new venue at INFINITUM.
“Our Spring Series is a great asset to the tour and especially to our players, and it is important that we have a Championship venue like this to test all aspects of our players’ games. Most of our players also have the DP World Tour Qualifying School Stage Final at INFINITUM as one of their end-of-season goals, which is another reason why this partnership makes a lot of sense for the ECCO Tour.”
Since 2010, the ECCO Tour has launched each season with a leg in Spain, making it the most visited non-Scandinavian country in its history. Previous Spanish hosts include La Manga Club and Camiral Golf & Wellness.
