Every summer, Santa Clara Golf Marbella becomes the stage for the most anticipated event of the season: the Marbella Masters. Known for its fierce competition, unforgettable atmosphere, and the glory of the Green Jacket, this year’s 5th edition once again proved why it stands as the pinnacle of golf in Marbella.

Saturday’s Couples battle: from camaraderie to glory

The first day of the Marbella Masters set the tone for an unforgettable weekend. On Saturday, August 9, the Santa Clara Golf Tournament brought golfers together in the thrilling Fourball Better Ball Stableford format, where teamwork and trust were as important as skill. Every shot counted, but it was the combined strategies that separated the good from the great. Check the winners’ list for this couples tournament at Marbella Masters.

The road to the Green Jacket: Sunday’s Individual showdown

Sunday, August 10, was when the stakes hit their peak. The V Memorial Enrique Canales Tournament put every competitor on their own in the Individual Stableford format, and the prize was far more than points—it was immortality in the history of the Marbella Masters. It was all about individual performance, courage, and skill. The competition crowned the new Master 2025: Pablo Trapote, who not only earned the coveted Green Jacket but also 30 days of unlimited golf at Santa Clara Golf Marbella and a guaranteed invitation to the 2026 Masters.

Trapote joined the elite list of past Masters: Javier Gercón (2021), Arturo Martin (2022), Ammar Faik (2023), and Juan Arocha (2024)—who also serves as the course Marshall and was competing once again alongside the 2022 and 2023 champions.
