Jordan Mixed Masters breaks new ground for Tours

 

NEWS RELEASE

European legends, female stars and the next generation of golfers will all gather at Ayla Golf Club, a premier golf destination in Jordan, in 2019 for a ground-breaking new tournament: the Jordan Mixed Masters, presented by Ayla.

 

In a first-of-its-kind event, the European Challenge Tour, Ladies European Tour and Staysure Tour will co-sanction the new individual stroke-play event, to take place from April 4-6, 2019.

 

The field will consist of 123 players – 40 from each Tour and one leading amateur from the men’s, ladies’ and over-50s' games – who will compete against each other in a single, mixed field.

 

Members from the three Tours will tee off from different yardages, but will compete in a single competition. The three-day event will see the field cut to 60 for the final day’s play, competing for the grand prize. The leading players from the other two tours will also receive a special accolade.

 

The concept, which recognises the importance of equality and equal opportunity, was the vision of Ayla’s ownership, who have created a premier golf and leisure development close to the Red Sea City of Aqaba and on the shores of Jordan’s southern coastline.
