Legends ProAm – The Event:

The „Legends ProAm” is similar to the „Ryder Cup Modus”. Teams of eight from different countries compete in the two

different forms of Matchplays: Bestball and Singles. In addition, the PGA-Professionals are playing for a prize money of

around 12.000,– Euros, which can only be won with the best team-result. This guarantees great team-spirit and promises

a very exciting tournament.

The leaders of the teams are the PGA-Professionals and Sport-Legends where one of each will be present in the team.

They will be playing the game with enthusiasm and with the motivation to fight for their team and their homeland.

Be part of one of the greatest „Golf-Events” taking place in Abu Dhabi 2020!

Your sincerely,

Jörg Hess / CEO of gotp
