He added, “We are grateful to the local council, the Ayuntamiento de Benahavis, promoter Sportcel, La Quinta and all of our other sponsors for their continued support of this event and we look forward to another superb tournament”.
Meanwhile, officials at La Quinta GC are also jubilant on the prospects of hosting the star-studded event in the summers.
