2nd June 2025 | Alps Tour Golf
We head to Spain for the 9th event of the season.
Roquetas de Mar, June 2nd 2025 – After a week off, the Alps Tour resumes in Spain for the ninth event of the 2025 season—and the first to be held on Spanish soil. For the second consecutive year, and the third time in its history, Club de Golf Playa Serena in Roquetas de Mar, Almería, will host an Alps Tour tournament. The 2025 Alps de Andalucía – Roquetas de Mar will take place from June 4th to 6th, bringing together a strong international field. For the first time, this year’s tournament includes both “Andalucía” and “Roquetas de Mar” in its official name.
On Tuesday 3rd June, with a shotgun start at 9:00 a.m., the 2025 Alps de Andalucía-Roquetas de Mar Tour Scramble, best two balls Pro-Am will occur with 25 teams participating.
The Field
Six winners from the eight events held so far this season will be part of the strong field competing for the 2025 Alps de Andalucía–Roquetas de Mar title. Joining them are nine players currently ranked inside the top 10 of the Alps Tour Order of Merit, setting the stage for a highly competitive and compelling tournament.
The winners of six events from the 2025 Red Sea Little Venice Open to the 2025 Lacanau Alps Open —all from Spain—are leading the group, marking a historic milestone, and their dominance sets the stage for an exciting second half of the season. These players include: Alvaro Hernandez Cabezuela, the current Order of Merit leader and a two-time winner this season with victories at both the Red Sea Little Venice Open and the Tunisian Golf Open; Javier Barcos, ranked third in the standings and winner of the New Giza Open; Asier Aguirre Izcue, fifth in the ranking and winner of the Memorial Giorgio Bordoni presented by Aon; Jorge Maicas, currently ranked ninth and winner of the Gösser Open; and Javier Calles Roman, the most recent champion this season following his victory at the Lacanau Alps Open, currently sitting in eighth place.
Joining the strong Spanish contingent in the field are several top-ranked international players. France’s Quentin Debove, currently 4th in the Order of Merit, will be looking to climb further up the Order of Merit, as will Italy’s Jacopo Vecchi Fossa and Flavio Michetti, who occupy 6th and 7th places, respectively. Also competing is Switzerland’s Luca Galliano, winner of the season-opening event, the 2025 Ein Bay Open, and currently ranked 10th in the Order of Merit, adding further depth and competition to an already elite field.
The only season winner not competing this week is Spain’s Rocco Repetto, following his brilliant success yesterday at the Challenge de Cadiz on the HotelPlanner Tour. Rocco was a first-time winner on the Alps Tour in March at La Cigale Golf Open in Tunisia and will now continue the season on the higher-level tour.
Among the 144 players in the field, Ireland’s Ronan Mullarney will also be competing. He captured two titles during the 2023 season, which propelled him to win the Order of Merit and secure his promotion to the HotelPlanner Tour (formerly known as the Challenge Tour) for the 2024 season.
During the 2024 edition of the Alps de Roquetas de Mar, Brandon Kewalramani from the United States was crowned the champion, finishing with a three-day total of 10 under par.
In the 144-player field this week, 17 countries worldwide are represented: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, England, Spain, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Jersey, Monaco, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, and Switzerland.
The event offers an overall prize fund of €42,500 and 45,000 Order of Merit points. The winner of the 2025 Alps de Andalucía-Roquetas de Mar will walk away with €6,200.00 and 6,525 points towards the Order of Merit standings.
The 2025 Alps de Andalucía-Roquetas de Mar will be contested over 54-holes of stroke-play, with a cut made after 36 holes to the top 40 professionals and ties, plus amateurs within the cut.
In the event of a tie after the final round, the tournament winner will be decided by a sudden-death play-off.

The Course

The Alps Tour returns to its historic roots in Austria for the 33rd Gösser Open
Maria Lankowitz, May 12th 2025- The 2025 Gösser Open marks the next stop on the Alps Tour schedule as the tour heads North to Austria. The tournament will take place at Golf Club Erzherzog Johann in Maria Lankowitz from Thursday, May 15th to Saturday, May 17th.
Ahead of the Gösser Open, the 2025 Austrian International Par 3 Championships will be held on May 13th at GC Graz-Andritz in Graz, owned by the Murhof Gruppe, the promoter of this week’s event. Some of the professionals competing in this week’s Par 3 Championship will also be vying for the prestigious Gösser Open title.
On Wednesday, May 14th the traditional Gösser Open Best Ball Net and Gross Pro-Am will take place with a shotgun start. There are 32 teams that will compete in this exciting pre-tournament event.
The Gösser Open is one of the most important tournaments of the Alps Tour season and holds the distinction of being the oldest tournament on the Alps Tour schedule. It is also widely regarded as the most traditional professional golf tournament in Austria.
The event first began in 1993 at Steiermärkischer Golf Club Murhof, before moving to Golf Club Erzherzog Johann in 2000, where it has remained as the permanent host venue. Following the founding of the Alps Tour in 2001, the Gösser Open became part of the Tour schedule and has been a key event ever since.
The Field
The 2025 Gösser Open will welcome a standout field of 144 competitors, featuring every winner from this season’s Alps Tour events contested so far: Luca Galliano (Ein Bay Open), Alvaro Hernandez Cabezuela (Red Sea Little Venice Open and Tunisian Golf Open), Javier Barcos (New Giza Open), Rocco Repetto (La Cigale Golf Open by Alps Tour) and our most recent winner from last week’s event, the Memorial Giorgio Bordoni presented by AON, Asier Aguirre Izcue.
Also set to tee it up this week are all ten players currently ranked inside the current top 10 of the Alps Tour Order of Merit. Leading the standings is two-time winner Alvaro Hernandez Cabezuela, with Rocco Repetto in second place and Javier Barcos in third. The current top three positions are all held by Spanish players.
Over the years, the Gösser Open has seen several notable champions, including England’s Matt Wallace, who lifted the trophy in 2016. Austrian players have also enjoyed repeated success, with past winners such as Lukas Nemecz, Gordon Manson, Timon Baltl, Maximilian Steinlechner, Niklas Regner and Markus Brier all leaving their mark on the tournament’s history. In the most recent edition, Steinlechner claimed victory with a par on the first playoff hole, adding another homegrown name to the tournament’s storied legacy.
This week, 144 players from 18 different nationalities will compete for the prestigious title. The tournament has a prize fund of €42,500 and 45,000 Order of Merit points, and the winner will earn €6,200 and 6,525 points.
The event will be contested over 54 holes of stroke play, with a cut made after 36 holes to the top 40 professionals and ties, plus amateurs within the cut. In the event of a tie at the conclusion of the final round, the tournament winner will be decided by a sudden-death play-off.

The Course
Golf Club Erzherzog Johann in Maria Lankowitz, located approximately 40 kilometers west of Graz, offers a par-72 course stretching 5,967 meters. Designed by architect DI Herwig Zisser and inaugurated in 1992, the course sits on the edge of a protected natural reserve in the scenic region of Western Styria. Uniquely, the club was developed as part of a revitalization project on land previously used as a coal mine, blending rich history with environmental renewal.
The course is known for its picturesque landscape—rolling hills, tranquil lakes, and forested surroundings—creating a visually stunning backdrop. However, its strategic layout also presents a significant challenge, demanding accuracy and precision from players throughout the round.
The tournament course record stands at 63, a score achieved by Lukas Lipold in the second round of the 2022 Gösser Open, Thomas Feyrsinger in the second round of the 2005 event, and Claude Grenier in the first round of the 2011 edition.

The 7th event of the 2025 season, is promoted by the Murhof Gruppe. The Murhof Gruppe runs more than 30 golf courses throughout Austria, including this week’s venue in Maria Lankowitz.
