From this Thursday, the 19th, until the coming Sunday, the 22nd of March, Marbella hosts the Spanish Under 18 Women's Golf Championship, one of the most prominent events on the national amateur calendar. The event is taking place at the South Course of the Real Club de Golf Guadalmina, in San Pedro Alcántara. The tournament, which counts towards the world and national rankings of the category, gathers around a hundred players, including local golfer Yaiza Morales, as well as representatives from the province and Andalusia.

The championship is played under the 'stroke play' format, with 18 holes daily over four consecutive days. At the end of the third round, a cut will be made that the top 60 ranked players and those tied in that position will surpass, advancing to the final round. Among the main contenders for the title are players such as Nagore Martínez and Liz Hao, who were prominent in the play-off of the last edition, as well as Amanda Revuelta and Adriana García Terol, the latter being a member of the winning European team and current Spanish Absolute and Under 16 champion.

Since its inception in 2019, the tournament has brought together some of the best players from the national scene, establishing itself as a key platform for the development of women's golf. The local council member, Lisandro Vieytes, emphasized that "choosing Marbella to host this championship demonstrates the Federation's confidence in our city and the quality of our sports facilities." He also noted that "we continue working to remain as a top-tier venue for competitions, especially in sports like this, where we have unique conditions that position us as a benchmark both nationally and internationally."
