The European Seniors Tour will break new ground in the new Millennium when it stages an event in the Caribbean for the first time.
The Royal Westmoreland Barbados Open will be held from March 29 to April 1. The top 40 European Seniors
Tour players will play alongside 80
amateurs. The professionals will be
playing for a prize fund of £100,000 over
a three-day 54-hole championship.
Seniors Tour managing director Andy Stubbs said: "This is an exciting new addition to our growing schedule of destinations and is an excellent start to a busy Millennium season."
Andrew White, Managing Director of White Sports Marketing Ltd,
the promoters of the event, said “As a company we feel that this
event provides Royal Westmoreland and The Barbados Tourism
Authority with an opportunity to show the golfing world that
Barbados is fast developing into a world class golf destination.”
