RAFA CABRERA BELLO

Rafa is highly regarded in the professional golf scene and started to play golf when he was 6 years old. He grew up next to a golf course in Gran Canaria, playing golf with his younger sister Emma, now a successful player on the Ladies European Tour and his brother Miguel, who recently turned professional. Rafa loves reading books, skiing and football. He studied business and economics at the University of Las Palmas but his studies were interrupted by his quick rise through the professional golfing ranks. He immediately won in his debut year the MAN NÖ Open in Austria and finished 13th on the final Challenge Tour Order of Merit. Rafael is considered one of Spain’s great golfing talents having been a leading player throughout his amateur career. In 2012 Rafael won his second European Tour title, the Dubai Desert Classic and established his position as one of the leading players in Europe. In 2016 Rafa played the Ryder Cup contributing 2.5 points to the European Team score and went on to play the Olympics in the same year. In 2017 he won the Scottish Open and became the 2021 Champion of the Open de España in Madrid. His 2023 is already looking promising having finished in the top 10 at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship.
