The 119th VISA Open of Argentina is scheduled to kick off this Thursday at the Jockey Club's red course in San Isidro. This prestigious tournament, part of the Korn Ferry Tour for the third consecutive year, will take place on a par 70 course designed by renowned Scottish architect Alister MacKenzie, promising high-level golf performance.

This year's event is particularly significant as it coincides with the centenary celebration of the Argentine Golf Association (AAG), which was founded in 1926 on the very same grounds. The tournament's defending champion is American golfer Justin Suh, who will be vying to retain his title among other top competitors. The total purse for this year’s event is set at an impressive $1 million, attracting both local and international talent.

With a rich history and notable associations, the VISA Open not only showcases emerging talent but also continues to cement Argentina’s position in the international golf arena. This year, spectators can expect thrilling matches and a showcase of skill as eight highlighted players aim for the championship, making it a highly anticipated event in the golf calendar.
