Paco Jémez, Bernd Schuster Jr. and Esteban Vigo Win Schuster & Friends Tournament in Marbella. The fourth Schuster & Friends tournament has concluded in Marbella. Paco Jémez, Bernd Schuster Jr. and Esteban Vigo emerged as the winners. The event gathered well-known athletes and celebrities.

In Marbella, at the Santa Clara Golf course, the fourth Schuster & Friends tournament has concluded, once again becoming a prominent event for the sporting and social life of the Costa del Sol. This time, the contest for victory unfolded between well-known athletes and media personalities, with the final results proving unexpected for many participants.

In the Scratch category, football coach Paco Jémez scored the most points under the stableford system, confidently navigating the tournament and managing to outrun his competitors. In the first category, the intrigue lasted until the final holes: Nico Escámez and Esteban Vigo displayed a high level of play from the very start, but it was Esteban Vigo who managed to seize his opportunity at the end and took first place in his group.

Special attention was drawn to the match between chef Fran Vicente and Bernd Schuster Blasco. Fran Vicente, a finalist from one season of a top culinary show, hoped for a rematch after last year's defeat, but Bernd Schuster Jr. started collecting points from the very beginning and ultimately won in his category. The tournament took place at one of Andalusia's most popular golf courses, once again underscoring the Costa del Sol's status as a regional center for sporting events.

The Schuster & Friends tournament traditionally combines a sporting component with a charitable mission, bringing together renowned athletes, coaches, and representatives of the entertainment industry. This year, the event once again affirmed its reputation as a venue for informal networking and showcasing athletic skill. According to RUSSPAIN, interest in such events in Andalusia remains consistently high, and golf continues to be one of the region's key sports.

Interest in sports events in Spain remains strong: recently, in Almería, the fate of a playoff final spot in the Primera was decided, where Almería and Castellón competed for a place in the decisive match — details on the progress of this meeting are available on our website.

For reference: The Costa del Sol is considered one of Europe's leaders by number of golf courses, and Marbella regularly hosts tournaments featuring sports and show business stars. Such events promote the development of sports tourism and support the region’s image as one of Spain’s main golf centers.
