August 17, 2022 – The Aramco Team Series Sotogrande tournament has joined forces with the Seve Ballesteros Foundation raising vital funds for the famous charity. The celebrity game, dubbed “The Match”, took place as part of the Pro-Am ahead of tomorrow’s LET tournament kicking off at La Reserva Club, Sotogrande.

Spanish golf stars Adri Arnaus and multiple LET winner Carlota Ciganda came together with celebrity Andalucian chef Dani Garcia and Carmen Ballesteros – daughter of the legendary Spanish champion and all-time golfing great.

“The Match” donated €500 for each player birdies with €2000 for any eagles – with a total raised of €21,000 for the foundation.

Carmen Ballesteros is a board member of Seve Ballesteros Foundation that was set up by her late father in 2009, with the commitment to contribute to the advancement of science for the benefit of those suffering from brain tumours. The Seve Ballesteros Foundation seeks to preserve Seve’s legacy and through the Golf in Hospitals program brings golf’s values to children who are hospitalized or at home. They learn to play always in safe environments and following Seve’s values such as humility, sacrifice and perseverance.

Carmen Ballesteros said: “I am delighted to participate in this Match. Thank you to everyone for your support to our efforts in helping young players develop their skills and making kids stay in hospitals more bearable by introducing them into golf.”

Malaga-born Dani Garcia has recently taken up the sport, around a busy professional life, and relished an opportunity to support The Match.

“I love golf but only started playing two years ago because of all the travel I have to do – but can say now I’m addicted as it’s a great release from my professional life,” he said.

“It’s a great honor and very special for me to be able to support and play for the Seve Ballesteros Foundation today. I was watching Adri at The Open at St. Andrew’s a few weeks ago and now it’s incredible to be able to play with him Carlota and Carmen for such a great cause.”

Adri Arnaus added: “It’s an honour to be part of this match for the Seve Ballesteros Foundation. I have to say he’s one of my idols and to be part of this has been special. We just went out there and tried to make as many birdies as we could – even some eagles. I’m very happy we’ve been able to raise that amount of money for a great cause”.
