Beat the Pros 2026 – An unforgettable encounter between juniors and pros at hole 8

On Saturday 5th of September, the legendary hole 8 of the OMEGA European Masters will once again host one of the tournament's most beloved moments: "Beat the Pros."

A rare and inspiring experience: 22 young golfers, selected by SWISS GOLF, will have the honour of taking on the professionals for a single hole. A suspended moment, full of emotion, where passion and mentorship come together.

Each junior is welcomed on the tee before the pros arrive. Once the pros are in place, the pairs are formed under the watchful eye of the organising team.

The pros tee off first, followed by the juniors, cheered on by the crowd. Together, they walk to the green in an atmosphere that's both relaxed and focused.

And that's not all — a junior ranking is also established, based on distance to the hole.

You can find the juniors’ names and their approximate starting times at Tee 8 here.
