The World Pitch & Putt Tour is the first global Pitch & Putt circuit that aims to take the sport of Pitch & Putt and its players to the highest possible level. We work closely with the International Pitch & Putt Federation (FIPPA) to promote and expand the sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The inaugural WPPT event was held in November 2021 at the Torre-Serona P&P course in Lleida. In a post-pandemic environment with limited movement, the WPPT was able to hold its event with more than 144 players of different nationalities: Spain, France, Andorra, the Netherlands, Slovenia, Ireland, and Chile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The event was broadcast live on the WPPT channels and on the regional sports channel Esport3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The winner of this first competition was a 16-year-old Catalan player named Alex Albinyana Jr., who took home a prize of \u20ac3,600. This was the largest prize ever awarded in the world of Pitch & Putt, with a total cash prize of \u20ac10,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2022, even with health measures in place, the WPPT was held on two P&P courses simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A situation that had never occurred in an international P&P tournament, as players had to play a round on one course, eat, and then play another round on another course with completely different conditions. The courses where the tournament was held were P&P Vendrell and P&P Costa Daurada, both in Tarragona. The final round was held at P&P Costa Daurada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The champion was 22-year-old Juan Luis Sanchez, who was able to withstand the final pressure from the rest of the players, most notably Mikael Lundberg, a three-time European Tour champion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The championship had as a guest player, the then Spanish golf champion, Miss Mireia Prats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That same year, the WPPT wanted to pay special mention to two great individuals who have made a significant impact in the world of P&P by naming trophies in different WPPT categories after them. From that moment on, the Senior Trophy was renamed the "John Manning Trophy," and the women's trophy became the "Pilar Montero Trophy." <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2023, the WPPT was able to hold three tournaments, two of them in Catalonia and a third in the birthplace of Pitch & Putt, Ireland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A unique experience enjoyed by many players, which helped him break the record for the best overall score by a champion. Damian Creevey achieved a total score of -27 strokes under par on the modified Ring Commons P&P course, adapted for the tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A curious circumstance could be seen during the tournament celebration: the female winner, Ms. Pilar Montero, received the trophy that bears her own name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2023 also saw the first annual WPPT ranking, which was scored by adding up the best four game cards from any of the WPPT events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first champion was Mr. Alejandro Esmatges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2024 is the first year the WPPT kicks off in a big way, with events in Portugal, Catalonia, France, and Ireland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This year should mark the consecration of the WPPT, as well as a step closer to achieving the ultimate goal of creating a world Pitch & Putt circuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Work is already underway to bring the WPPT to Chile by the end of 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Any Pitch & Putt player, regardless of their skill level, is welcome to participate in WPPT tournaments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The WPPT Masters aren't just P&P tournaments; they also have a village area with shops and offer free P&P baptisms to those who want them. So don't miss this opportunity and come enjoy a full WPPT experience. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
