The Gecko Tour

The gecko tour: revolutionary change and evolutionary diversity.

It is justifiably described as "Europe's premier winter circuit" but in recent months The Gecko Tour has raised the bar to an even more impressive level - certainly when it comes to the diversity of its fields and star performers.

Since the sixth season of the Costa del Sol-based circuit was launched in October 2016, under new ownership, the podiums have included veteran pros recapturing their winning form of previous years, young colleagues fine-tuning their games in a quest to qualify for Europe's main tours, teenage amateurs (and potential stars of the future) testing and honing their skills in the fiercely competitive cauldron of the paid ranks, and hugely talented women golfers mixing it with the men on the same fairways.

Among the champions this year (the tour concludes with the championship final at Finca Cortesín from 5 to 7 March) are 17-year-old Danish amateur Anders Emil Ejlerson and 18-year-old Finnish amateur Sami Valimaki; Marbella-born Ladies European Tour player Noemí Jiménez; José Luis Gross, a part-time pro with a day job in Málaga as a dentist; Mariano Galiano from the La Cañada club, who has won this season as a fledgling pro and the previous one as an amateur; and European Challenge Tour player Sam Connor from England. Highlighting the cosmopolitan nature of the tour, and its appeal for golfers keen to escape the chilly and wet winter climes of their northern home bases, there have also been Swedish, Scottish and Northern Irish winners, as well as an Argentinean.

Even elite Czech Republic athlete Roman Šerble has teed up on the tour - comprising two 36-hole events most weeks, at top courses along the Coast from east of Málaga to Sotogrande - albeit so far without adding to his nine decathlon gold medals in the European Championships, World Championships and Olympic Games (Athens).

As Tour announced at the start of this season, implementing a series of "revolutionary" changes aimed at enabling it to boost its progress in 2016-17, "The Gecko has conjured up a perfect mix of seniority and youth. Experienced players commit to the tour to stay in form, compete against talented young golfers and re-open the door to - why not - the European Tour... In addition, the Gecko has become a perfect launching pad and test for those talented youngsters who want to climb into the elite and need to train in winter. Where better than under the Costa del Sol sun? They come from throughout Europe, ready to beat the world."

I was just wondering if anyone knew more about this tour. I just discovered it and there is a tournament in progress right now and there are several AMs playing shooting between 95-107.....Whats this tours deal? It looks like the winning scores arent terrible and the money is typical for a mini-tour but why do they allow these dusters to enter? Is it a pro and am tour?

I don't know the specifics but I think events are mostly played during the winter when it's too cold to play in northern Europe. There's the occasional Challenge Tour player trying to stay sharp during the off-season but most are mini tour pro's, pro's who're just starting out and amateurs who're thinking about turning pro in the near future. I'm pretty sure they'll let anyone play as long as you pay the fee though, which probably explains the triple digit scores.

Almost anyone can play in any mini tour event, most tours are hurting for money so they will let anyone play in them whether they shoot 60 or 100.

Andalucía Golf

Rupert Hubbard, general manager of The Gecko Pro Tour

“WE ARE PROUD TO HAVE ATTRACTED A LARGE NUMBER OF TOP PROFESSIONALS TO OUR TOUR”

After four editions, The Gecko Pro Tour has become Spain’s most important golf circuit for professionals. Last season it comprised 16 tournaments. Gabriel Cañizares won the grand finale at La Reserva de Sotogrande, while Jordi García del Moral was the overall leader of The Gecko Pro Tour.

Rupert Hubbard, managing director of the circuit, says he is extremely satisfied with his “baby” – which is due to resume action this autumn, on the Costa del Sol.

How did the idea of creating The Gecko Pro Tour arise?

The origins of The Gecko Pro Tour date back to early 2011 when the idea of developing a winter golf tour on the Costa del Sol was first conceived. With the combination of great weather – whilst most of Europe is \"closed for business\" – and superb golf courses it seemed a risk worth taking. Clearly if players are fortunate to have wealthy parents or sponsors, there are multiple opportunities available in winter in other countries for them to play competitive golf. These would include Florida, South Africa, Asia, Australia or Latin America but as we know, for the vast majority of professionals and aspiring amateurs, this is simply not the case. As we all know, southern Spain offers certain unique advantages that few locations can compete with: i.e. a major airport (Málaga) served by many low-cost airlines, very affordable accommodation, together with a large number of wonderful golf courses.... not to forget The Gecko Pro Tour, which offers highly competitive tournaments that attract multinational fields!

How would you assess the first four years of the Tour?

Without exaggeration, each year has seen a significant improvement in terms of field size as well as quality of the players we are able to attract. The 2014/15 season saw a 15 per cent increase in player numbers compared with the previous year, which was 25 per cent higher than in 2012/13. This year we were also fortunate to welcome 12 players from the Challenge Tour and European Tour who competed in several events between January and the beginning of March before leaving for their first tournament held in Europe (Madeira Islands Open/Portugal). Based on their feedback, we are optimistic that this trend will continue and that in addition we will be able to attract ever greater numbers of players from Scandinavia, the UK and Germany, who represent our core nationalities after Spain.

Another example of our success is evident from the huge media following we enjoy. Our regular press releases are sent to more than 150 journalists across Spain and northern Europe and each of is events are covered by Canal+ Golf, Radio Marca and almost all of the major sports media (both print and digital) across a large geography. We are also in the early stages of discussion with Sky Sports in order to satisfy our following in the UK and Ireland. The fact that one of their sister companies – SkyBet – follows our tournaments augurs well for these discussions.

Nowadays it is increasingly difficult to find sponsors and the few tours that were in Spain have disappeared. Therefore, can you explain how The Gecko Pro Tour is still here and appears to be doing well?

It has certainly been a surprise to us how apathetic companies are in Spain towards golf sponsorship. Although there appears to be plenty of money available for certain other sports – e.g. Formula 1, football, yacht racing, cycling, basketball, etc. – for some reason golf has been forgotten. For me personally, I am saddened to see so many highly talented young players in Spain who are simply unable to continue \"chasing their dream\" due to a lack of financial support. What a sad waste! Clearly, the tax regime in Spain does not help but there must be other reasons.

As for The Gecko Pro Tour, we have been fortunate until now to have the personal funds to continue but there has to be a limit. As the eternal optimist, I am confident we are developing an exciting brand that will ultimately attract sponsors which in turn will enable us to grow the tour but I must admit it is extremely tough, especially with the heavy burden of a 21 per cent rate of IVA (VAT). Our other financial challenge is the cost of green fees. Unlike similar tours in the north of Europe who secure golf courses for free, we unfortunately have to pay. Therefore, as the European economies improve – leading to increases in golf tourism, which is obviously welcome news for Andalucía - it makes it that much more difficult for us to find good courses at an affordable price.

Can you reveal any details about your plans for next season?

We will be issuing a press release next month to unveil a number of changes we intend to make next season but I am happy to share some of the details. Although our current website attracts more than 50,000 visits per month during our season, we will releasing an entirely new website in May that will incorporate many of the recommendations and ideas we have received from players, potential sponsors and other followers of the tour. In addition, we will be introducing a new company logo which will sadly see the demise of our cartoon character. As regards the events we plan to host, we intend to hold a Pro-Am Series throughout the season that will benefit our chosen charity, the Ernie Els Foundation-Els for Autism. Finally, the tour schedule itself promises to be our best ever, with many of the top courses returning once again to our calendar. I am convinced that, when combined with an exciting new membership programme, all the ingredients will then be in place to ensure a successful 2015/16 season.

Gabriel Cañizares, Carlos Rodiles and Jordi Garcia del Moral are among the internationally renowned players to have played on The Gecko Pro Tour (all have European Tour experience). Do you expect to be able to attract such high quality players next season?

We are proud to have attracted a large number of top professionals to our tour. If you look at our website, we show a Hall of Fame that details an impressive list of individuals who have played our tour at some stage and have then successfully progressed to the Challenge Tour and/or European Tour. Although too long to list, they include, in addition to the names you have highlighted, Pablo Martín Benavides, Alejandro Cañizares, Estanislao Goya, Andy Sullivan, Callum Shinkwin, Nicolas Vanhootegem, Tim Sluiter, Eddie Pepperell, Chris Hanson, etc. So, yes, we are confident that we will be able to continue attracting high quality players next season from across Europe. Competition against strong opposition is good for developing the home-grown talent from Spain and obviously good for the image of The Gecko Pro Tour.

What are the difficulties you believe professional players face in Spain?

In my humble opinion, there are two main difficulties or hurdles. The first is quite simply financial. As I said earlier, the lack of sponsorship in Spain is driving many local players to either stop playing or importantly doesn\'t permit them the freedom to test their true potential since they simply don\'t have the funds. Although we have historically tried to keep our prices down (I should add we are cheaper than most other tours), we are nevertheless conscious that €250 or €300 is too high for many of the talented Spanish players who might otherwise wish to play on our tour.

The second is also related in some ways to financial considerations. A player will not develop his/her talent by playing week-in week-out on their home course, competing against the same amateur members whenever there is a club tournament. To develop one\'s talent, it is indispensable that a player can experience other courses and different conditions while holding a scorecard when playing in a field against better players. Without support, this opportunity is not available to most players.

How do you see the future for The Gecko Pro Tour in the short and medium term?

We look forward with optimism to the future. Nothing can or will be taken for granted and we must maintain and indeed constantly look to improve our high standards of professionalism and operational excellence in the way we host our events. We have a great team in place and hopefully our new format will ensure we continue to attract large fields and an ever-increasing number of seasoned professionals.  While we are extremely keen to increase prize funds each year, it is unfortunately not possible at this time given the current IVA tax regime and the scarcity of financial sponsors. Hopefully the regional government of Andalucía will be successful in convincing the national government to reduce the IVA rate for golf in the not too distant future.

PGA de España – The Gecko Pro Tour, preferred professional golf tour

November 17, 2013 – The Gecko Pro Tour has come to an agreement with the PGA de España by which it has been appointed their preferred professional golf tour in Spain.

The agreement marks the recognition of the continued increase in the credibility and visibility of The Gecko Pro Tour in Spain, as well as reinforcing the mission of the PGA de España as active driving force in the development of professional golf in the country.

To demonstrate its commitment to the agreement, the PGA de España offers its affiliated members a €50 discount in the inscription for every tour event they play during the 2013/14 season. This will promote the tour and increase the participation of professionals from outside Andalusia.

Professionals from different areas of Spain can now consider The Gecko Pro Tour, which takes place in many of the finest golf courses in Southern Spain, as an attractive alternative to competing abroad during the winter, when this is the only fully scheduled professional tour in Europe.

The winners of the four first tournaments are: Gabriel Cañizares (Spain) in the Sovex Classic in Marbella Golf CC; Peter Gustafsson (Sweden) in the Würzburg Open in Guadalhorce GC; Gervasio Cuquejo (Spain) in Torrequebrada GC; and Benedict Staben (Germany) in the Parador of Málaga GC.

Perfect for relaxing

We loved our stay here. We had an amazing pool and sun bed on our balcony but enjoyed the poolside location also. The staff was helpful, attentive and friendly. We got so lazy we didn't even take advantage of the daily yoga classes or free padel boards and kayacks. The beach in front of the hotel Read more [SPLIT] Read less was small but beautiful. I would definilty reccommend Gecko Hotel. There were guests with small children (well behaved) but I wouldn't reccomend it for families, kids won't enjoy being kids there.

The restaurant at Gecko Hotel & Beach Club has a barefoot meets clubhouse vibe. Sustainable fish and the freshest seafood appear alongside entrecote steak and burrata di buffala on the Mediterranean influenced menu. Twice a week in the summer, fish are grilled on a traditional barbeque, and the drinks (and conversations) flow. Or you can keep things intimate with a private torch-lit dinner on the sand.

Gecko Hotel & Beach Club, Formentera

gecko tour spain

Step back into an era of 1950s glamour at Gecko Hotel & Beach Club in Formentera. Harking back to the days when the international jet-set first set foot on Balearic shores, Gecko is Spain’s answer to Riviera-chic. Home to just 30 rooms and a relaxed glamour that honours the tiny island’s bohemian roots, Gecko invites lazy days drenched in sunshine. Relaxing in a cabana, lounging in a hammock or dining on the beachfront, feel the pressures of time disappear as soon as you drop your bags.

Dropped amid the sparkling waters of the Balearic Islands, Formentera has been a favourite of the jet-set for over half a century. A quick 30-minute ferry ride from neighbouring Ibiza and a 15-minute drive from La Savina and Gecko awaits atop the white sand shores of Migjorn Beach. Whilst you’ll find it hard to tear yourself away from that beachside cabana, should you do, the island also has coastal paths, mud baths and natural swimming pools aplenty for you to discover.

Laidback luxury is the order of the day in the 30 guestrooms at Gecko Hotel & Beach Club. Whether you opt for ground floor or first floor, sunrise or sunset, the rooms here are so close to the beach that you can almost feel the waves lapping at your door. A neutral colour scheme is livened up through splashes of the everpresent cobalt blue of the Balearic seas and skies and reflected in turn by the panes of mirror and glass. Whether slumbering in your king-size bed, relaxing in your patio pergola or cooling off in your plunge pool, your room will form a private oasis you’ll never want to leave.

Why we like it

First and foremost a beach club, it’s the Mediterranean lifestyle of Gecko that has kept us coming back year on year. The relaxed lunches in the Mediterranean breeze and starlit espetada barbeques have kept our appetites satiated with the freshest seafood these waters have to offer. Then, when we feel like we’ve overindulged ever so slightly?  Resident yogi guru, Yiannis Mukta Om, has been on hand to revive us with 90-minutes of complimentary daily yoga. Island life truly is bliss.
