The Legends Tour returns to Greece after 23 years, for the Costa Navarino Legends Tour Trophy which will take place at Costa Navarino during June 7-9.

Formerly known as the European Senior Tour and the Staysure Tour, the Legends Tour is the men’s professional golf tour for members aged 50 and older.

The tournament is being financially supported, promoted, and staged by the European Tour Group and is set to provide an incredible setting for the first Legends Tour event of the 2024 season to be played in continental Europe.

Costa Navarino, located in Messinia in Greece’s southwest Peloponnese, is part of the European Tour Destinations network. It has raised its profile as a sustainably driven destination in the Mediterranean and offers a world-class golf experience on its four 18-hole signature golf courses.

“Costa Navarino is an incredible destination and one which we are proud to add onto our schedule with the help of the European Tour Group. The golf courses will provide a great test for our players whilst offering some incredible views as well,” said Legends Tour CEO Phil Harrison.

The Legends Tour event will be played over two of the destination’s courses – The Bay Course for round one on Friday June 7 and then the International Olympic Academy Golf Course for rounds two and three on Saturday June 8 and Sunday June 9.

“Taking the Legends Tour to Greece further extends our spread across Europe and beyond as a Tour with a global reach,” Harrison added.

On his part, Costa Navarino Golf General Manager David Ashington said it is an honour for Costa Navarino to have the opportunity to become the first venue in Greece to host a major professional golf tournament in 23 years.

“With four signature golf courses combined with four five-star hotels and an extensive array of additional sports and lifestyle facilities as well as authentic, year-round experiences, we can’t wait to showcase everything that we have to offer to the players, their families and tournament guests and a wider global audience,” Ashington said.
