The DP World Tour begins a two week stretch in Spain this week for the ISPS Handa Championship. It is a new event having only been added to the schedule because of ongoing travel restrictions affecting the intended tournament areas of Japan and China.
Whilst it is new to the circuit, the course will be familiar to many with it being played at the Lakes Course at Infinitum Resort in Tarragon, home of the Qualifying Series. The 18-hole Greg Norman designed course runs around the wetlands of La Sequia Major, one of the most important ecosystems in the region, with water playing an integral role on ten of the 18-holes.
The course is relatively short by modern standards with the par 70 measuring at 6963 yards. It may be considered short but it remains perfectly poised for late drama with two par 5's in the closing three holes, which will almost inevitably play a key part before a champion is crowned.
The field is headlined by World No.78 Bernd Wiesberger who will be looking to recapture the form that earned him a place on Padraig Harrington's Ryder Cup team in 2021.
Danish sensations, Nicolai and Rasmus Hojgaard are also in the field and looking to claim the 460 Race to Dubai points, which will go a long way to earning a spot on Henrik Stenson's Ryder Cup team.
