Argentine Open returns amid FIFA World Cup 2022: Schedule, dates, venue, and more

The Argentine Open returns with its 116th edition amid the FIFA World Cup. In a country that is overloaded with soccer fans, it would be challenging to manage the golf tournament.

While Messi is leading the Argentina team in bringing the trophy home, the biggest challenge will be gathering fans' attention towards the golf championship.

Established in 1905, the VISA Open de Argentina is the seventh-oldest Open Championship in the world.

While speaking about the event, the President of the Argentine Golf Association, Andres Schonbaum, said:

"This is a very particular year, as we will have an eye on the World Cup and another eye on the golf being played here at Nordelta Golf Club. Anyway, our focus is here, in a tournament with a great history and tradition that provides great opportunities for the players competing in the region."

The championship is scheduled from December 1 to 4 at Nordelta Golf Club, where 156 players from 19 countries will compete against each other to win $31,500 in prize money from the purse of $175,000.
