Now in its third year at the world-famous La Manga Club in southeast Spain, the 2024 championship will take place between November 7 and 10 and will be played on the Club’s iconic south course, adjacent to the 5-star Grand Hyatt Golf Resort & Spa. Once again, the event will welcome a host of top-class professional golfers and legends of the game.

The likes of previous winners Paul Lawrie OBE in 2022 and Patrik Sjöland in 2023 will be joined by a host of household names, including tournament host and former Ryder Cup player Peter Baker, as well as Masters winner and previous world number 1 Ian Woosnam OBE, US Open winner Michael Jonzon, European Tour winner Gary Wolstenholme MBE, Ryder Cup player Jean van der Velde, European Tour winner Markus Briar and, new this year, Ryder Cup player, Dunhill Links and Dubai Dessert Classic winner, Scotland’s Stephen Gallacher MBE, will make his Legends European Senior Tour debut.

John Hayes, CEO of event organisers at Champions (UK) plc, said, "The Farmfoods European Senior Masters is a marvellous opportunity for amateur golfer and spectators to get up close and personal with some of the greats of golf over recent years, who between them have won the likes of the Augusta Masters, the US and British Opens, not to mention Ryder Cups, tour wins and the Dubai Dessert Classic.”
