Apes Hill Barbados, a rapidly growing luxury golf and lifestyle community in the Caribbean, is set to host the Staysure Legends Tour for the third consecutive year from April 24-26. The event will bring renowned golf champions to a stunning location, cementing its place on the international senior golf circuit.
The Barbados Legends, hosted by Ian Woosnam, has become a key fixture, drawing Major winners, Ryder Cup stars, and experienced tour players. They are attracted not only by the elite competition but also by the unique blend of world-class golf, luxurious living, wellness options, and the inherent natural beauty of Barbados.
Henrik Stenson Makes His Legends Tour Debut
This year’s tournament is enhanced by the debut of Henrik Stenson, the 2016 Open Champion and one of Europe’s most accomplished modern golfers. Stenson boasts an impressive career, including six PGA TOUR wins, 11 DP World Tour victories, a FedEx Cup title, and a Race to Dubai championship.
“Henrik’s participation is a fantastic addition to what has swiftly become a standout event on the Legends Tour,” stated Sunil Chatrani, Executive Chairman of Apes Hill Barbados. “His presence brings significant prestige, but more importantly, it underscores Apes Hill’s rising profile as a global destination where top-tier golf, luxury living, and exceptional lifestyle experiences merge.”
Stenson expressed his enthusiasm: “I haven’t visited Barbados in two decades, but it’s a stunning island, and the Apes Hill course looks magnificent. I’m eager to compete in my first Staysure Legends Tour event in such a spectacular setting.”
Ian Woosnam’s Signature Event Continues to Grow
The tournament, hosted by Masters Champion and Apes Hill Ambassador Ian Woosnam, further boosts the property’s international standing.
“From our first Staysure Legends Tour event at Apes Hill, the players recognized its unique appeal,” Woosnam commented. “It offers high-level competition in a world-class setting, while beautifully showcasing the warmth, hospitality, and beauty that make Barbados so special.”
A Championship Course With Caribbean Drama

Apes Hill has recently been recognized as one of only seven new additions to Golf World’s Top 100 World Resorts, and the sole Caribbean debutant. This accolade highlights not just the golf course but the resort’s comprehensive appeal, encompassing luxury accommodations, thoughtful amenities, tropical landscapes, and a strong focus on well-being.
