Spain's Asier Aguirre Izcue won the Regione Lazio Alps Tour Grand Final, the final event of the 2025 Alps Tour, with a 203 (68, 69, 66, -13) score. By climbing to third place, he earned one of the five "cards" for the 2026 HotelPlanner Tour, awarded to the top finishers. Another card went to Jacopo Vecchi Fossa, a 31-year-old from Reggio Emilia, who finished fourth in the tournament with a 205 (71, 67, 67, -11) and is second in the rankings after an excellent year in which he achieved two wins and eight other top-ten finishes.

On the Golf Nazionale course in Sutri (VT), in the competition sponsored by the Lazio Region, Asier Aguirre Izcue, 26, secured his second title of the season and his second career on the tour, closing in on compatriot Javier Barcos (203 66 66 71). Javier Barcos, who had led after 14 holes, lost with two bogeys, only to be caught by his compatriot with two birdies to round out his six (66, -6). Aguirre Izcue then prevailed on the first play-off hole and received a check for 10,000 out of a 55,000 prize pool.

The Golf Nazionale, the "home of Italian golf," whose high-profile technical course was designed by architects George and Jim Fazio and David Mezzacane, has been a rigorous testing ground for golfers. Over time, it has hosted many important events, including the 1991 World Cup, the 1992 European Amateur Championship, and the 2023 Junior Ryder Cup. The facility also houses the Federal Technical Center, an operational base for training all golf-related professionals.
