GolfStar Winter Series 2026 Kicks Off Cutter & Buck Tour – 140 Players from 14 Nations Set to Compete
This weekend marks the start of the 2026 Cutter & Buck Tour as the fifth edition of the GolfStar Winter Series gets underway. Over two intense weeks of competition, February 14–20, two international tournaments will be played at Empordà Golf Club outside Girona, Spain.
Interest in this year’s edition is greater than ever. The field features 140 players representing 14 nations – a clear sign of the event’s growing international status.
– The GolfStar Winter Series has quickly established itself as a natural season opener for many players. Interest is stronger than ever, and this year’s field is both broad and international. Combined with valuable ranking points at stake, it creates the conditions for competition at a very high level, says Pontus Gad, Head of the Cutter & Buck Tour.
A Platform for Tomorrow’s Stars
In a short time, the GolfStar Winter Series has become an important arena for players looking to take the next step in their careers and gain valuable international experience early in the season.
– This tournament series plays a significant role in player development. We see the GolfStar Winter Series as a platform where future stars have the opportunity to compete internationally in a professional and inspiring environment. Being part of making that possible is something we are truly passionate about, says Stefan Brikell, CEO of GolfStar Europe.
Part of GolfStar’s European Expansion
GolfStar is currently in an expansion phase with a clear focus on strengthening its presence in Europe. Spain is a key market, with continued growth in regions such as Alicante, Barcelona, Málaga and Murcia.
– Our ambition extends beyond Spain. We aim to establish GolfStar as a leading player in additional European markets. The partnership with the Winter Series is therefore a natural fit – the series reflects our values of quality, development and international competitiveness, says Stefan Brikell.
Stepping in once again as title sponsor is a strategic decision for the company.
– It feels both energizing and strategically right. The GolfStar Winter Series is a strong and growing brand, and we look forward to being part of its continued journey this year as well, he concludes.
