On November 10, you will step onto the legendary TPC Sawgrass course. This is the home of The Players Championship. It is widely considered one of the most challenging courses in North America.

Designed by the famous Pete and Alice Dye, this course demands absolute precision. The stadium layout provides a dramatic backdrop for the start of the tournament. Every shot requires careful strategy and focus.

This stunning course is a masterpiece created by Nicklaus Design. It perfectly blends the natural beauty of the region with a challenging layout. The tropical climate adds a new layer of complexity to your game.

The front nine holes wind through lush natural forests and artificial lakes. The back nine opens up to breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea. The ocean breeze will test your ball flight and club selection.

Day 3: European Prestige at Camiral Golf & Wellness (Europe)

Next, the VIP jet touches down in Girona, Spain. The landscape shifts from tropical coastlines to rolling European hills. On November 12, you will play the renowned Camiral Golf & Wellness resort.

This exceptional venue is set to host the 2031 Ryder Cup. The Stadium Course is widely recognized as one of the best in Europe. It is a visually stunning yet highly demanding layout.

Dense pine forests frame the narrow fairways, requiring pinpoint accuracy off the tee. Strategic water hazards come into play on at least seven holes. The course punishes mistakes but highly rewards brilliant shots.

This course is a stunning creation by golf legend Greg Norman. It perfectly captures the striking contrast of the Omani landscape. The emerald fairways sit beautifully against the rugged Al Hajar Mountains.

The course runs directly along a two-kilometer stretch of pristine coastline. The Indian Ocean provides a sparkling backdrop for your round. The desert winds will certainly challenge your course management skills.

Intercontinental Golf Tournament 2026: Frequently Asked Questions

Important Note: Due to the extreme logistical complexity of this tour (including private jet charters and international permit applications), the maximum number of participants is strictly limited to 60 people worldwide. Applications will close without notice once this limit is reached.

Tournament & Gameplay

• Q1. Are there any handicap restrictions as a condition for participating in the tournament? While there are no strict official handicap restrictions, given the championship-level difficulty of each course, we recommend that golfers with a handicap of 24 or lower participate to ensure smooth game progression.
• Q2. Do the rules of the competition follow the general rules of golf (R&A/USGA)? Yes, the tournament will basically follow the official, globally recognized rules of golf. However, because this is a special exhibition tournament that will take place across seven continents in a short period of time, unique local rules and special rules for the Antarctic section will be applied to speed up the pace of play.
• Q3. Is it possible to arrange for a caddy or use a golf cart at each golf course? Based on the specifications of each course and the local club rules, a caddy or golf cart (or both) is provided in advance. Except for special areas such as Antarctica, a full support system by local staff is in place to ensure that you can play in the best possible conditions.
• Q4. Are there any awards such as prizes or trophies? Yes, a grand "IGT Celebration & Awards Dinner" will be held at the Westin Hotel in Cape Town on the final day. The overall winner will be recognized based on the total score across the seven continents, and special trophies and commemorative gifts will be presented to the stage winners from each continent.

The Antarctic Section (Wolf's Fang)

• Q5. How is playing golf in Antarctica (Wolf's Fang) different from playing regular golf? You will play in a specially constructed environment on the ice and snow of Antarctica. For safety and environmental reasons, highly visible colored balls such as orange will be used, and the round will be played on a compacted snow fairway instead of regular grass, providing a unique playing experience.
• Q6. What kind of clothing and warm gear should I bring when I arrive at Wolf's Fang in Antarctica? The Antarctic section is an extremely cold environment, so we will provide you with rental of specialized cold-weather clothing (down jackets, insulated boots, etc.) or a list of recommended layering equipment in advance. We will support you in staying as warm as possible while still being able to play golf.

Flight, Logistics, & Comfort

• Q7. What are the seats and cabin environment like on the private jets used for travel between continents? We use luxury jets customized for VIP specifications. All seats are spacious, first-class-style full-flat seats (or equivalent), ensuring ample rest and privacy even on long-haul, multinational journeys.
• Q8. Do I have to carry heavy items like golf clubs (caddy bag) myself every time I move? No, you don't need to transport anything yourself. Our dedicated logistics team will handle and manage all your golf gear and luggage from the meeting point to your final destination, including packing, loading onto the aircraft, and transportation to each course.
• Q9. This is an extremely tight schedule, traveling across seven continents in one week. Do you have any strategies for dealing with jet lag or managing your health? The cabin is designed to provide a comfortable environment with controlled air pressure, temperature, and lighting, ensuring you get plenty of sleep. Furthermore, sports logistics experts will guide you through the optimal schedule and care to prevent health problems, including advice on in-flight meals and hydration.

Attendance, Visas, & Safety

• Q10. Is it possible to participate alone? Also, can I bring a companion (a partner who won't be playing)? Solo participants are more than welcome. You'll find yourself in an environment where you can quickly connect with golfers from all over the world who share the same passion for golf. We also offer individual consultations and arrangements for accompanying family members or partners who do not play golf, as seating is limited.
• Q11. What kind of medical support system is in place in case someone gets sick or injured during the tour? Throughout the entire trip, experienced professional medical staff (tour emergency response doctors and guides) will accompany you or be readily available for immediate contact. In extreme environments such as the Antarctic, a backup system for emergency medical transport (medical evacuation) using satellite communication is also in place.
• Q12. Is it necessary to obtain a visa for each country to participate? For Japanese citizens, the procedures vary depending on the country you are visiting. Electronic travel authorizations such as ESTA (United States) and ETAS (Australia) are required. For countries like Oman and South Africa, you will also need to check the latest entry requirements in advance and complete the necessary procedures (Trywell can assist you).

Weather & Booking Policies

• Q13. What happens if a round in a particular country is canceled due to bad weather or other reasons? As the safe operation of the tour is our top priority, if it is determined that operation or play is impossible due to weather or local safety standards, we may adjust the schedule or change to an activity in a safer area. Changes due to force majeure such as natural disasters will be subject to the terms and conditions.
• Q14. What are the cancellation policies (cancellation fees) for the trip? Due to the nature of this tour, which includes chartered flights and access to some of the world's finest golf courses, a very strict cancellation policy applies, which differs significantly from that of typical package tours. A detailed terms and conditions document will be provided upon booking, so please be sure to review it beforehand.
• Q15. When is the application deadline? Also, what happens if the maximum number of applicants is reached? The maximum number of participants is extremely limited to "60 people worldwide," so applications will be closed without notice once the limit is reached. Special logistical arrangements (private jet seats and entry permit applications in each country) are required, so we recommend applying formally as soon as possible.
