The Chile Classic opens its doors to the best golfers of the Korn Ferry Tour

This Tuesday, the stars arrived en masse at the Prince Of Wales Country Club. Two days before the start of the first round of the Astara Chile Classic, the main players of the tournament came to see first-hand one of the most historic golf courses in the country. In this welcome were Alejandro Peric, event director, and Alex Baldwin, president of the Korn Ferry Tour.

And they did not hesitate to demonstrate the full potential of a competition that is returning to the country after almost eight years of absence. A bet that aims to continue increasing the boom in golf in the country and that brings together such important names as Camilo Villegas, Cristóbal del Solar and David Skinns.

In this sense, the President of the Korn Ferry Tour stressed the importance of the tournament so that they, and all the players who go through the PGA preparation circuit, realize their maximum potential. “International representation is very important, because for Korn Ferry players to fully enjoy the experience, they must travel the world. This is how they best prepare for their arrival on the North American tour. Latin America is very important for the development of the Korn Ferry Tour “said Alex Baldwin at a press conference.

Another of those who spoke was Alejandro Peric, who spoke about the qualifying circuit that took place in Chile for the tournament and which allowed Felipe Aguilar and Gustavo Silva to be part of the event. “Not only does this create an opportunity for Chilean golfers to achieve rankings on the course, but it also allows us to talk about the tournament for six months. It is an action that seems very relevant to us and without a doubt we will continue to carry it out in the years to come. “, he underlined.

The competitions start this Thursday, but Wednesday will take place the traditional Pro-Am where different personalities and amateur players will be able to play a lap on the field with players from the field.
