The Legends Tour returns to Greece after 23 years

The Costa Navarino Legends Tour Trophy will take place at Costa Navarino from June 7-9.

The Legends Tour event will be played over two courses - The Bay Course for round one on Friday June 7 and then the International Olympic Academy Golf Course for rounds two and three on Saturday June 8 and Sunday June 9. Guests can choose among the destination’s five-star resorts for their stay: The Romanos, a Luxury Collection Resort, W Costa Navarino, Mandarin Oriental, Costa Navarino and The Westin Resort Costa Navarino. 

Already entered into the event are three Major Champions as well as eight of the top ten from last season’s Legends Tour Order of Merit. Names will be revealed shortly to confirm who will be teeing it up in Greece.

Ben Cowen, the European Tour Group’s Chief Tournament and Operations Officer, said: 

“We are delighted to be supporting this new tournament in Greece at two of our European Tour Destination courses, providing further playing and earning opportunities for our Legends Tour members. Following the successful launch of the new season in Barbados last week, we wish our members well in the US Senior PGA Championship later this month, before this event in Greece which will showcase the stunning Costa Navarino destination to a global audience.”

Phil Harrison, Legends Tour CEO, said: 

“Costa Navarino is an incredible destination and one which we are proud to add onto our schedule with the help of the European Tour Group. The golf courses will provide a great test for our players whilst offering some incredible views as well.”

“Taking the Legends Tour to Greece further extends our spread across Europe and beyond as a Tour with a global reach. We could not be more excited about this addition to the calendar and our thanks go to the European Tour Group for their financial and staging support which has made this tournament possible.”

David Ashington, General Manager at Costa Navarino Golf, said: 

“It is a great thrill and honour for Costa Navarino to have the opportunity to become the first venue in Greece to host a major professional golf tournament in 23 years.

“With four signature golf courses combined with four five-star hotels and an extensive array of additional sports and lifestyle facilities as well as authentic, year-round experiences, we can’t wait to showcase everything that we have to offer to the players, their families and tournament guests and a wider global audience.”
