Rabat will host the 50th edition of the Hassan II Trophy and the 29th edition of the Lalla Meryem Cup from May 18 to 24 at the legendary Royal Golf Dar Es Salam.
This anniversary edition marks a historic milestone for Moroccan and international golf. Founded in 1971 by the late King Hassan II, the Hassan II Trophy celebrates half a century of existence, confirming the royal vision that has positioned Morocco among the world’s leading golf nations.
A Must-Attend Event in Global Golf
Now a prestigious stop on the PGA TOUR Champions, the tournament will bring together 66 major figures in world golf this year on the iconic Red Course of Royal Golf Dar Es Salam. Among them are several major winners and legends of the sport, promising a spectacle worthy of this historic celebration.
Golf enthusiasts still remember Miguel Ángel Jiménez’s triumph in the previous edition, a symbol of the excellence and prestige that have defined the Hassan II Trophy for decades.
The Lalla Meryem Cup Upholds a Tradition of Inclusivity
Held simultaneously on the Blue Course, the Lalla Meryem Cup continues Rabat’s unique tradition of gender inclusivity. Created in 1993 by the late King Hassan II, the tournament will welcome 132 players from the Ladies European Tour (LET), while also highlighting Moroccan female talent.
Through this dual men’s and women’s programming, Rabat confirms its status as a major hub of international golf.
A Week Focused on Youth
The event will also place strong emphasis on youth development and introduction to the sport. The “Pro-Am Hassan II Kids Cup by First Tee” will allow children from the First Tee Morocco program to share the course with professional players in an educational and friendly atmosphere.
This initiative reflects the organizers’ commitment to making golf a more accessible, inclusive, and inspiring sport for Moroccan youth.
An Immersive Experience Open to All

The venue will feature a large entertainment village, including:
