Legends Tour heads to Greece

The Legends Tour will make its first tournament stop in continental Europe in June, at the stunning Costa Navarino destination in Greece.

It begins three weeks on European soil and the start of a four-week run which ends with the US Senior Open.

Costa Navarino is steadily raising its profile as a prime, sustainable destination in the Mediterranean by additionally offering a world-class golf experience on the four signature golf courses in Greece.

The tournament will be played over two of the destination’s courses – The Bay Course for round one on Friday and then their International Olympic Academy Golf Course on Saturday and Sunday.
