Earlier this month, confirmation was received that Cyprus would be hosting one of its biggest sporting events of all time, with golf’s European Tour including the island in its updated 2020 schedule.
The European Tour’s visit to Cyprus will include two separate events, the Cyprus Open, taking place from October 29 to November 1, and the Cyprus Classic, from November 5 to November 8. Both events will be played at Aphrodite Hills Resort near Paphos.
The Sunday Mail spoke to Andrew Darker, Director of Golf at Aphrodite Hills Resort, about what this means for the sport in Cyprus, as well as all the tremendous effort and attention to detail required to be able to host such an event here.
