Passport to Pravets Qualifying Underway2 min read

Confederation of Professional Golf Member Countries are lining up their champion members to qualify for this year’s UniCredit PGA Professional Championship of Europe, which will be held at Pravets Golf & Spa Resort in Bulgaria from 25-28th September 2013. 

 Now in its third year at Pravets Golf & Spa resort, the Championship is firmly established as the No. 1 individual playing target on the Confederation of Professional Golf tournament schedule and the top competitors from each national will qualify to play.

 The championship boasts a €60,000 prize fund and will be contested by an elite field of 60 professionals from the 39 member countries who will qualify through their national PGA Championships. The event is a 72-hole stroke play format and will be accompanied by a post-event Pro-Am tournament.

 Qualifying tournaments are well underway with the first few qualifiers adding themselves to the start list and earning their Passport to Pravets for September, all looking to emulate two-time winner Hugo Santos from Portugal
