4th Husqvarna Vierplätzetournee golf tournament 30 May to 03 June 2022 At first glance, ski jumping and golf appear to have nothing in common. One involves an adrenalin surge on the ski jumping hill, while the other evokes images of peace and tranquillity on the green. In Oberstdorf, these two sports are everywhere. The fascination with ski jumping in general and the Four Hills Tournament in particular provided the inspiration for the Husqvarna Vierplätzetournee golf tournament. This is played on four different golf courses: the Oberstdorf, Oberstaufen-Steibis and Waldegg-Wiggensbach Golf Clubs and the Allgäu Golf & Country Club in Ottobeuren. One highlight is a unique “nearest to the pin” competition from the jump-off platform of the Heini Klopfer ski flying hill. A hole-in-one will bag players a prize of over €50,000. As well as the individual rankings, there will also be a competition for teams of four. The tournament begins on the Sunday with an opening night in Café Gebrgoibe. After the first 9-hole round at the Oberstdorf Golf Club and the hill-shot, day two of the competition will comprise an 18-hole round in Ottobeuren. A rest day then follows. On the fourth day, the competitors will head to the 18-hole Waldegg-Wiggensbach Golf Club before the tournament draws to a close on the Friday with 18 holes in Steibis, where a closing gala will be held in the evening.
