Experiences
Great experience that you were able to talk and mingle with the former pros. Great accommodation and tournament — absolutely joining the qualifiers next season in my own country.
Morten · DenmarkThe overall attention to detail in the organisation was very impressive — down to even having our names and flags on the golf buggies and lanyards. The International Pairs team on the ground were super helpful and always had a smile on their faces.
Kush · KenyaI thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The team camaraderie was something really special — you simply cannot replicate this kind of competitive atmosphere anywhere else.

The Island That Hosted The World
Turismo de Tenerife is the Official Destination Partner of the 2026 International Pairs World Final. Pairs from around the world came to an island that plays golf in every month of the year — volcanic landscape on one side, the Atlantic on the other, and both host courses minutes from the coast.
Mount Teide rises 3,718 metres out of the centre of the island: the highest peak in Spain, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2007. Around it are black-sand beaches, whale and dolphin waters, the old town of La Laguna, and the fishing villages of Los Abrigos and San Miguel de Abona on the doorstep of Golf del Sur and Amarilla Golf.
Four days of championship golf — on an island worth arriving early for.
