A total of 2,500 players took part and a hundred pairs qualified for the grand finals and travelled to the Costa del Sol to enjoy a weekend of golf. A tournament was held in parallel with this between professionals from assorted provincial and nationwide information media outlets. Costa del Sol Masters - Madrid: As in the last tournament, each competition will have two winning pairs, one from the first and one from the second category. The former includes those pairs whose exact total handicap is no greater than 30.4, while the remaining participants will be included in the second category. There is a minimum age limit of 24 years to take part in either category in the Costa del Sol Masters-Madrid. The goal of this unusual tournament is to publicize to the Madrid market the Costa del Sol’s enormous potential for golf, which is even greater with the inauguration of the AVE train between Madrid and Malaga. It should be kept in mind that as of January 2008 Madrid had a total of 89,077 golf club members, six thousand more than the year before. This figure represents 28% of all existing memberships in Spain. Madrid has four 36-hole courses, fifteen 18-hole courses, twelve with nine holes and six par-three courses. The Costa del Sol, on the other hand, has a total of 73 golf courses, of which 55 are conventional and eighteen are par-three.
