Baja Golf Tournaments
The beautiful golf courses of the Baja Peninsula are a natural
choice for tournament play: in addition to being in one of the
world's most beautiful beach locales, Baja
golf courses are challenging for golfers of all skill levels.
Not surprisingly, several Baja courses have hosted high-profile
tournaments which have elevated the Baja's status as a world-class
golf destination.

Los Cabos World Pro-Am
With over 30 years of world-class tournament programming experience,
the World Pro-Am is hosting its 11th annual golf tournament in
Los Cabos, Mexico, January 14-19, 2007.
Situated on the southern most tip of the Baja Peninsula, Los
Cabos is one of the most popular golf resort destinations
in the world, with good reason: the geography is stunning, featuring
mountain peaks, rugged desert terrain, and white-sand beaches.
In addition, the cities of Cabo
San Lucas and San José del Cabo are captivating and
the region’s diving is second to none.
 The
official accommodations for the 2007 tournament will be the grand
class Hilton Los Cabos Beach and Golf Resort, with beautiful views
of the Sea of Cortez from every room. The hotel has 375 first-rate
rooms, two fine restaurants: The Fenicia, specializing in dishes
from Sicily, Italy, France, Greece, Turkey, Yugoslavia, Spain and
Morocco; and La Hacienda, which presents informal, yet refined,
Mexican, American and International cuisine with a healthy serving
of local seafood and produce.
The golf tournament will be held at three different golf courses: Cabo
Real (Robert Trent Jones Jr.), and the Nicklaus’-designed Cabo
del Sol, and Palmilla Golf
Club. Each course is located next to the ocean and presents
its own unique sets of challenges. The ebbing and flowing tides
of the Sea of Cortez will create the backdrop of sound for an
unbeatable week of golf and entertainment!
Each competing team consists of one Golf Professional and three
amateurs. The amateurs are chosen by the Golf Professional but
they do not have to be members of his or her club. All contestants
must enter as a four-person team in order to participate in the
tournament. Golf Professionals are considered guests of the Tournament
Committee and will receive the same package as the amateurs, plus
an appearance fee. This package includes hotel accommodation (double-occupancy),
breakfast each day, green fees, a shared golf cart for the four
tournament rounds, a welcome reception, an awards cocktail party,
and prizes.
The tournament field is limited to the first 30 teams entered
with a completed entry form and a deposit of $500 per person. The
strict cancellation policy is that deposits will be refunded 60
days (or more) before to the event. The format of the tournament
is 72-hole
“Team One Best Ball Net”, a 72-hole “Team One
Best Ball Gross”, and a 72-hole “Professional Championship”
for $2500. Remember that all amateurs must provide proof of handicap
to compete in Net Division.
Participants are to arrive at the resort a day early for time
to relax before the evening Welcome Reception gets started. The
Awards Cocktail Party is held on the evening of the final round
of golf, and the next morning, everyone who has not booked reservations
for an extended stay will be departing the resort.
World Pro-Ams offers a one-of-a-kind opportunity for Golf Professionals
and amateur golfers to compete in International tournament and
benefit from the fellowship of golf enthusiasts from around the
world. The top-quality reputation of the World Pro-Am Golf Tournaments
persists because of a commitment to play only the foremost golf
courses in the world, with accommodations only at premier hotels
and resorts.
