The 118 Visa Argentina Open, one of the most prestigious golf events in South America, is all set to unfold from February 27 to March 2, 2025. With a rich heritage dating back to 1905, this illustrious tournament has consistently provided a platform for both emerging stars and seasoned veterans to showcase their prowess in the sport. The iconic Buenos Aires Jockey Club again plays host to this crucial stop on the Korn Ferry Tour, attracting top-flight golfers from across the globe.
Previous editions of the tournament have been nothing short of thrilling. Mason Andersen’s performance last year, tying with Kris Ventura for the lowest 72-hole score in tournament history, is still fresh in the minds of fans. This year, expectations are high for another fierce competition, given the quality of the field and the substantial prize fund up for grabs.
The 118 Visa Argentina Open 2025 features a whopping $1,000,000 prize pool, offering a strong incentive for the world’s elite golfers to bring their A-game. The champion will pocket an impressive $180,000, while the runner-up and third-placed finisher will earn a respectable $90,000 and $60,000, respectively. The meticulous allocation of the prize money ensures that every shot counts in this high-stakes contest, rewarding those who secure a spot on the leaderboard.
To further sweeten the pot, the tournament winner will also accrue 500 Korn Ferry Tour points. This is a major draw for players eyeing a place in the 2026 PGA Tour season. The top 20 players on the season-long points list receive PGA Tour invitations, making the outcome of each tournament pivotal for their careers.
The 2025 118 Visa Argentina Open boasts an impressive lineup. Among those vying for the title are three of the four 2025 Korn Ferry Tour champions—Kyle Westmoreland, Josh Teater, and Hank Lebioda, with the latter having topped the 2025 Korn Ferry Tour Points List since his victory at the season-opener in The Bahamas.
The tournament will also feature nine PGA Tour winners including five-time Tour champion Nick Watney, who boasts an overall record of 18 victories. The roster is further bolstered by 43 Korn Ferry Tour winners with a combined 60 victories, promising a fiercely competitive atmosphere. Three former Visa Argentina Open champions—Marcelo Rozo (2017), Jorge Fernández Valdés (2021), and Zack Fischer (2022)—are set to add a dash of intrigue and history to the event.
The Buenos Aires Jockey Club course, renowned for its narrow fairways and strategically positioned hazards, is designed to test every facet of a golfer’s ability. Both technical skills and mental resilience are prerequisites for success. The course’s long history and the challenges it presents make it a fitting venue for a tournament of this stature.
As the 2025 118 Visa Argentina Open unravels, golf enthusiasts worldwide will be glued to their screens, eager to see who emerges victorious, claiming not just the substantial prize money but also potentially career-defining triumphs.
