Wales Open, Professional golf tournament in Newport, GB
The Wales Open takes place at Celtic Manor Resort, where professional golfers compete across four rounds on championship courses. The event spans multiple days with challenging layouts that test both players and spectators' appreciation of the game.
The tournament started in 2000 and was a regular fixture on the European Tour until 2014. After a five-year break, it returned in 2020 and has since become established again on the international golf calendar.
The tournament draws international golfers to Wales, connecting the local golfing community with professional players from across Europe.
Visitors can purchase single-day or multi-day passes to follow the golfers around the Celtic Manor courses. Comfortable walking shoes and weather protection are recommended, as spectators spend considerable time outdoors moving between holes.
In 2001, heavy rainfall forced the tournament to be shortened to 36 holes, resulting in an unexpected playoff between Paul McGinley and Daren Lee. This unusual ending shows how weather conditions can dramatically change the outcome of professional golf events.
