The proposal
Since its first edition in 2023, the Americas Teams Championship Iberostar has aimed to provide teams of golfer friends from across the region with the opportunity to compete on world-class courses, stay in 5-star ALL-INCLUSIVE hotels, and enjoy Caribbean destinations that offer plenty of activities beyond golf and lots of fun.
In its two editions (Punta Cana and Riviera Maya), more than 35 teams from 10 different Latin American countries have participated.
The tournament format is Stableford, with teams of four golfers who split the first three rounds into one fourball and two individual rounds, and on the fourth day, all four golfers play individually, with one score discarded.
The championship’s third edition returns to Punta Cana, featuring four rounds on four incredible courses in the destination.
We invite you to join with your team and enjoy a week of golf, competition, and ALL-INCLUSIVE in the Caribbean.
