Riesenbeck, Germany – July 20, 2023 –Out of the Top 10 on the current Longines Global Champions Tour ranking, all riders will compete in Riesenbeck International this week for the 11th stage of the season, at the home of Ludger Beerbaum. The largest ring of the season seems to be a fitting stage for the Titans to clash and for the title race to further unfold.

Championship anticipation reaches its peak as the world’s highest-ranked riders gear up to face off in a thrilling showdown at Riesenbeck International. Hosting the Longines Global Champions Tour for the first time, the event will witness an extraordinary gathering of the top 10 ranked championship contenders.

The weekend promises to be an exhilarating event with its vast and majestic arena, providing the ideal stage for these equestrian titans to showcase their incredible talent and skill. Spectators are in for a treat as they witness a fierce battle of precision, speed, and finesse as these remarkable riders compete for the coveted championship title.

The current Longines Global Champions Tour ranking features an exceptional lineup of accomplished athletes, each with their unique accomplishments and strengths. Among the elite contenders are:

1) Maikel van der Vleuten (NE) – A force to be reckoned with, Maikel has consistently delivered over the season. Leading the pack by over 50 points he is a formidable contender to finally get his hands on the overall season title.

2) Christian Kukuk (GER) – Competing this weekend at his home show, Kukuk has all to play for with only having to improve on his score of 0.2 points from Madrid to add to his tally.

3) Simon Delestre (FRA) – The Frenchman has recorded just 6 results on the tour this season. With the best 8 counting, he can easily close the gap on van der Vleuten, who needs a 22nd-place finish in Riesenbeck to improve his 8th-best championship score.

4) Malin Baryard-Johnsson (SWE) – After a shock elimination last weekend in A Courna, Malin only has 7 scores counting at the moment so if guaranteed to improve her score if she qualifies for the LGCT Grand Prix this week.

5) Henrik von Eckermann (SWE) – World number one has the horsepower to rocket to the top of the leaderboard this season. Taking it steady and playing the consistent game, how will be tackle this week’s track?

6) Harrie Smolders (NED) – The 2017 LGCT Champion occupies 6th place at the moment, but just like Epaillard, he has only recorded 5 LGCT Grand Prix results. His points per stage average is the highest of all riders and with Bingo du Parc, Monaco NOP and Uricas van de Kattevennen he has 3 Grand Prix horses in his stable that have jumped clears already, making him alongside Delestre the man with the most firepower.

7) Julien Epaillard (FRA) – Epaillard has recorded just 5 results in the LGCT Grand Prix so far, 1 less than Delestre and 3 less than the man from the lowlands. Ranked just 7th on the standings, the 2-time LGCT Grand Prix winner this season has the 2nd highest points per stage average – higher than van der Vleuten – he needs to get it spot on when coming to London, Rome and Riyadh if he has the ambition to become the first Frenchman since Michel Robert to win the title.

8) Edwina Tops-Alexander (AUS) – Two-time LGCT Champion, Edwian is aiming to match Ben Maher’s record that he set last year and become the second person to win 3 championships.

9) Pieter Devos (BEL) – Finishing second in the Championship is a feeling Devos knows too well. All roads this year lead to him finally getting that top spot.

10) Abdel Saïd (BEL) – Rounding off the top 10 is the Belgium rider Said. Over 100 points behind Maikel, everything will need to fall into place this weekend if he wants to be on the podium at the end of the year.

As the championship contenders gather in Riesenbeck, the excitement in the equestrian community reaches a crescendo. Spectators, sponsors, and enthusiasts alike eagerly await the unfolding of events as these riders embark on a journey to etch their names in the annals of show jumping history.

Longines’ passion for equestrian sports dates back to the early years of the brand, in the 19th century. In 1869, Longines created its first watch with an equestrian motif. Some time later, it launched its first chronograph movement, enclosed in a case decorated with a horse and jockey. Since 1881, this timepiece has been the standard for jockeys and equine sports enthusiasts in the United States. In 1912, Longines entered into its first partnership with a show jumping event in Lisbon, thus securing its links with the equestrian world.

Throughout its history, Longines has continually pushed the limits of accuracy in sports timekeeping. The brand has also become the partner to the most prestigious  events around the world, working hand in hand with the major players of the equestrian world. Today, Longines is associated with show jumping, eventing and dressage, as well as with flat racing. 

Horse Racing

Racing has been nourished for centuries by the propensity of equines to run fast and, if possible, faster than the others. Horse racing is therefore not just a pretext for humans to live the equestrian passion; it is without doubt one of the most widespread equestrian activities in the world, creating a unique fever that unites excellence and competition.

Show jumping

Show jumping is a captivating and spectacular equestrian discipline that requires excellence, finesse, power, intelligence and, above all, a perfect complicity between the rider and his or her mount. 

Eventing combines elegance of dressage, precision of show jumping, speed and courage of cross-country, and requires both the horses to be extremely versatile and the riders to have exceptional skills.

At the border between sport and horsemanship, Dressage is a discipline that requires a lot of concentration and skill. Elegance, precision and nobility of gesture: essential values for the horse and rider.

• La Fira asumir� en 2025 la gesti�n del Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya

Longines Global Champions Tour, la gran competi�n ecuestre aterriza en la capital.

El momento dulce del sector ecuestre espa�ol tras la pandemia alcanzar� un punto �lgido este mayo. Tras pasar por las sedes de Doha, Miami Beach, M�xico DF y Shanghai, la edici�n de 2024 del circuito h�pico de saltos m�s importante del mundo toca por primera vez suelo europeo en su �nica sede espa�ola: Madrid. Se trata del "Longines Global Champions Tour 113 CSI 5* Madrid", que se celebra el fin de semana del 17 al 19 de mayo para dar cita a algunos de los mejores binomios del mundo en la disciplina de salto, entre los que se encuentran varios de los grandes favoritos para conformar el equipo espa�ol para los Juegos Ol�mpicos como Eduardo �lvarez Aznar, Mariano Mart�nez Bastida, Sergio �lvarez Moya o Manuel Fern�ndez Saro.

La importancia de la cita queda reflejada en el bautizo de esta competici�n. Unos dicen que es la "Champions ecuestre" y otros que se trata de la "F�rmula 1 de la h�pica". Es la denominaci�n preferida de �lvaro Arrieta, fundador y presidente de Oxer Sport, empresa encargada de la organizaci�n de la competici�n en Madrid y M�xico. "El fundador del tour es Jan Tops, jinete holand�s que fue oro ol�mpico y que en 2006 decidi� revolucionar el deporte... hoy, 18 a�os despu�s, podemos decir que lo ha logrado", apunta el directivo en una entrevista con EXPANSI�N. "El circuito recorre 16 ciudades durante nueve meses, las etapas son en escenarios ic�nicos y compiten los mejores binomios del ranking mundial".

Con esta carta de presentaci�n, el evento se emite en m�s 100 pa�ses y el retorno medi�tico, calculado por la consultora Rebold, super� en 2023 los 10 millones. Adem�s, la ciudad de Madrid recibe el impacto econ�mico (directo e indirecto) de los miles de aficionados que visitan la capital durante la semana de la competici�n, seg�n explica el directivo de Oxer, que co-organiza junto al Club de Campo Villa de Madrid el gran evento desde 2013.

Espa�a es hoy el primer destino de competici�n h�pica en Europa. Arrieta destaca un reciente estudio de Deloitte para la Real Federaci�n H�pica Espa�ola que cifra en 7.400 millones el impacto econ�mico del sector, equivalente al 0,6% del PIB. "Es una cifra importante que, sumada a los 150.000 puestos de trabajo generados, confirma la solidez del sector en Espa�a". Todo ello en un marco en el que el deporte supone 2.500 de esos 7.400 millones, como agrega el ejecutivo de Oxer, propietaria de dos licencias del Longines Global Champions Tour, pues suma Espa�a a M�xico. Los presupuestos de ambos eventos son muy diferentes. El de M�xico roza los 7 millones de d�lares (6,5 millones de euros) y el de Madrid supera los 2 millones.

Dicho esto: el deporte como competici�n es solo el pico del iceberg. "Detr�s hay cr�a, explotaciones, transformaci�n y actividades transversales", contin�a Arrieta, que destaca la amplitud del estudio de Deloitte. "Fueron meses de investigaci�n y miles de cuestionarios en un sector enorme". En h�pica la principal caba�a de competici�n est� en Madrid "y "seguro que los dos grandes eventos, Longines Global Champions Tour en primavera e Ifema Madrid Horse Week en oto�o, contribuyen a ello, los grandes eventos dinamizan el sector y generan un impulso fundamental para el verdadero motor que es la compra-venta de caballos". "La competici�n retroalimenta el mercado", concluye.

Sobre los patrocinadores, tras 27 a�os de relaci�n con estas empresas, Arrieta remacha que "es una gran oportunidad para muchos de ellos", con el gran atributo de tratarse de un deporte ol�mpico paritario al 100%, ya que mujeres y hombres compiten en igualdad de condiciones. Son muchas las veces que amazonas ganan a jinetes. "No tenemos cuotas, a paridad es absolutamente natural. Adem�s, somos un deporte elegante, sostenible, respetuoso con el medio ambiente y muy emocionante. La velocidad y la manejabilidad son fundamentales, pero sin olvidar la potencia. Por todo ello, somos un territorio atractivo para marcas que anteponen calidad a cantidad", apostilla el directivo. Resalta que se trata tambi�n de una opci�n interesante para las marcas de lujo "que suelen encontrarse c�modas en nuestros eventos". Actualmente Oxer gestiona m�s de 200 clientes �nicos de patrocinio h�pico.

C�mo funciona el negocio

El motor del sector es la compra-venta de caballos. A partir de ah�, la competici�n es el escaparate, "el �ndice de referencia para saber el precio de los caballos de �lite", apunta Arrieta. De esta manera, cuando un caballo gana, su precio sube. Eso es obvio, pero es que tambi�n sube el precio de sus hermanos y, sobre todo, el de cubrici�n de su padre y el valor de los futuros hijos de su madre, todo est� relacionado. La cr�a ha evolucionado much�simo en las dos �ltimas d�cadas, sobre todo gracias al implante de embriones en yeguas madre. "Por el contrario, la clonaci�n no ha tenido �xito". "Hay un factor experiencial y singular en la cr�a de cada caballo que afecta much�simo a su crecimiento como atleta".

El impacto de los petrod�lares

Este deporte no se comprende sin los binomios, con caballo y jinete como deportistas de �lite. "El mejor caballo del mundo con un jinete mediocre no ganar� y el mejor jinete del mundo con un caballo normal, tampoco, el jinete debe entrar en la cabeza del caballo y el caballo tener confianza total en su jinete". Por ello, "el caballo es parte clave de la ecuaci�n y es l�gico que los precios se disparen". En este contexto, los petrod�lares de los pa�ses �rabes (Arabia Saudita, Qatar y Emiratos) "han influido mucho en el precio de los caballos de �lite que ahora est� en m�ximos, especialmente por ser 2024 un a�o ol�mpico".

• Tournament News

Take a look at just a few of the featured groups this week at the Cognizant Founders Cup using KPMG Performance Insights :

Thursday, 7:59 a.m.* – Nelly Korda/Jin Young Ko/Minjee Lee

Nelly Korda will look to continue her unstoppable tear of excellent golf this week in the Garden State, as the 13-time LPGA Tour winner is pursuing a sixth consecutive LPGA Tour victory at the Cognizant Founders Cup. The 25-year-old collected her fifth straight Tour title at The Chevron Championship just a couple of weeks ago, matching Nancy Lopez and Annika Sorenstam as the only other known player since 1978 to win five tournaments in a row on the LPGA Tour. She also became the first American since Juli Inkster in 1999 to win five times in a single season and is the youngest LPGA Tour member to win her second major title also since Inkster picked up her second major victory in 1984 at 24 years, 1 month and five days. According to KPMG Performance Insights, Korda leads the LPGA Tour in strokes gained total (+3.01), scoring average (69.22), percentage of rounds in the 60s, par-4 scoring, par-5 scoring, greens in regulation, strokes gained tee to green (+2.33), strokes gained around the green (+0.84) and eagles (6). She is also second on Tour in strokes gained driving (+0.81) and is 13th in strokes gained approach (+0.90), the latter of which she has vastly improved upon in 2024 compared to 2023. This is Korda’s sixth start in the Cognizant Founders Cup, and in her five previous appearances, she has missed two cuts, one of which was last year at Upper Montclair Country Club, and earned three top-20 finishes, including a tie for second in 2019 and a pair of T19s that came in 2017 and 2021.

Can anyone top Nelly Korda at this week's @LPGAfounders ? We look at the #KPMGInsights ahead of the event. 🏆 Nelly goes for six straight wins 📈 Brooke Henderson continues to improve pic.twitter.com/j9qCOC54YL — KPMG Golf (@KPMGGolf) May 8, 2024

When it comes to horses for courses, few are better suited for Upper Montclair Country Club and the Cognizant Founders Cup than Jin Young Ko. Three of Ko’s 15 LPGA Tour victories have come at this event, as the Republic of Korea native won the 2019, 2021 and 2023 Cognizant Founders Cups at Wildfire Golf Club in Phoenix, Ariz., Mountain Ridge Country Club in West Caldwell, N.J., and at Upper Montclair Country Club in Clifton, N.J., respectively. Statistically, Ko’s victory at this tournament last season saw the former Rolex Rankings No. 1 rank first in par-4 scoring (11-under), second in strokes gained tee to green (+3.30), third in strokes gained approach (+2.53) and fourth in proximity to the hole (19 feet), according to KPMG Performance Insights. So far this season, Ko leads the LPGA in strokes gained approach, picking up 1.35 strokes on the field per round with her approach shots, and among players with 10 or more rounds, she is also ranked first in proximity to the hole from 125 to 150 yards (15’8). This is Ko’s sixth start in the Cognizant Founders Cup, and in addition to her three victories, she has one other top-20 result, a tie for 17th that came in 2022.

Minjee Lee won the 2022 edition of the Cognizant Founders Cup, the first year the event was held at Upper Montclair Country Club, defeating Lexi Thompson by two shots with a four-day total of 19-under. That kind of form is something that Lee will be looking to find this week in Clifton, N.J., as it’s been an up-and-down year thus far for the Australian major champion. She has made just three cuts in six total starts this season, recording two top-15 results at the Blue Bay LPGA, where Lee finished in a tie for fourth, and the T-Mobile Match Play presented by MGM Rewards, where she ultimately tied for 15th. Still, the 27-year-old seems to be striking it well as she is averaging 20 feet in proximity to the hole from 125 to 150 yards, over four feet better than the LPGA Tour average, and is ranked eighth in strokes gained approach (+1.04), according to KPMG Performance Insights. This is Lee’s eighth time teeing it up in the Cognizant Founders Cup, and in addition to her victory, she has earned three other T25 or better results, including a solo second in her title defense in 2023.

Thursday, 8:10 a.m.* – Nasa Hataoka/Brooke Henderson/Hannah Green

This week marks Nasa Hataoka’s sixth appearance at the Cognizant Founders Cup, and if her recent performances at Upper Montclair Country Club are any indication, she’s definitely someone to keep an eye on this week in the Garden State. Since the event moved to this venue, Hataoka has recorded back-to-back top-10 finishes in this tournament, tying for sixth in 2022 with a 72-hole score of 14-under and finishing solo eighth in 2023 with a four-day total of 6-under. This is her 10th tournament of the 2024 LPGA Tour season – Hataoka has only skipped the Blue Bay LPGA this year – and she has earned four top-15 results, including back-to-back T13s at The Chevron Championship and JM Eagle LA Championship presented by Plastpro and a tie for third at the HSBC Women’s World Championship. Statistically, the Japan native is more than in form, ranking fourth in rounds under par (21), eighth in strokes gained approach (+1.04), ninth in greens in regulation (71.70%) and 12th in strokes gained tee to green (+1.24) so far this season.

Brooke Henderson is teeing it up at Upper Montclair Country Club for the very first time as she makes her first start in the Cognizant Founders Cup since 2021 this week. She has played in this event five times before, four of which were at the tournament’s original venue, Wildfire Golf Club, in Arizona, and the last of which was at Mountain Ridge Country Club in West Caldwell, N.J. In those five previous starts, Henderson has recorded four top-15 finishes, the best of which was a tie for fourth that came in 2016. This week is her ninth start of the 2024 LPGA Tour season, and she has already earned an impressive five top-10 results, three of which were T3s or better at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions (3), the HSBC Women's World Championship (T3) and The Chevron Championship (T3). According to KPMG Performance Insights, the 13-time LPGA Tour winner is ranked third in strokes gained total (+2.04), fourth in strokes gained tee to green (+1.50) and seventh in strokes gained driving (+0.74). She has also made 68 putts of 10 feet or longer this season, the fourth-most of any player, and is currently second in rounds under par (23), second in scoring average (69.87), third in birdies (127) and fourth in rounds in the 60s (13). While it might be tricky to predict how well an athlete performs at a venue they’ve never seen before, Henderson’s recent form should be a good indicator for success this week at Upper Montclair Country Club.

Hannah Green successfully defended her title a couple of weeks ago at the JM Eagle LA Championship presented by Plastpro, winning by three shots over Maja Stark at Wilshire Country Club. It was her second victory of the 2024 LPGA Tour season, as Green won the HSBC Women’s World Championship in February in Singapore, and the title made this year Green’s first multiple-win season on Tour since she won the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship and the Portland Classic in 2019. With a week off to rest and recuperate, the Australian will be raring to go this week at the Cognizant Founders Cup, an event in which she has played four times before, earning a best finish of T42 in 2021. Statistically, Green is more than in form, ranking 10th in strokes gained total (+1.34), 17th in strokes gained putting (+0.71) and 22nd in strokes gained approach (+0.66). She is also ranked second in putts per green in regulation (1.72), third in scoring average (69.95), 10th in greens in regulation (71.67%) and 12th in rounds in the 60s (10).

Thursday, 1:10 p.m. – Rose Zhang/Megan Khang/Lydia Ko

Mizuho Americas Open winner Rose Zhang is making her tournament debut this week at the Cognizant Founders Cup, just a few days before she works to defend her title for the first time in her young career at Liberty National Golf Club. This is her seventh start so far this year, and in her six previous events, the 20-year-old has missed two cuts and earned two top-10 finishes, tying for seventh at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions and tying for fifth at the T-Mobile Match Play presented by MGM Rewards. According to KPMG Performance Insights, Zhang is ranked seventh in strokes gained approach (+1.04), ninth in strokes gained total (+1.35) and 14th in strokes gained tee to green (+1.12). While she doesn’t have any prior experience at Upper Montclair Country Club, Zhang’s 2023 victory at Liberty National and her solid showing at last year’s KPMG Women’s PGA Championship at Baltusrol Golf Club’s Lower Course indicate that she has a pretty good grip on how to play golf in New Jersey, something that should bode well for Zhang this week at the Cognizant Founders Cup.

Megan Khang is a Northeast native, hailing from Rockland, Mass., and has plenty of experience playing the style of golf that a venue like Upper Montclair Country Club will require this week at the Cognizant Founders Cup. It’s her eighth time teeing it up in this tournament, and in her seven previous starts, Khang has finished in the top 15 on four separate occasions, most recently tying for sixth in 2022, the first time the Founders Cup was held in Clifton, N.J. The Rolex Rankings No. 14 has been hitting it well this season, ranking second in strokes gained tee to green (+1.77) and third in strokes gained approach (+1.17), according to KPMG Performance Insights. She’s also 13th on the LPGA Tour in driving accuracy, hitting the fairway 82.92% of the time, a skill that will be critical around a narrow Upper Montclair Country Club. Khang has one LPGA Tour victory to her credit, winning the CPKC Women’s Open in 2023 at Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club, an event in which she defeated Jin Young Ko en route to victory.

Lydia Ko will have another shot at the LPGA Hall of Fame this week at the Cognizant Founders Cup as she works to track down the 27th point necessary for automatic qualification. The 27-year-old captured her 20th career LPGA Tour title at the season-opening Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions in January and has been trying to collect her 21st title so she can gain entry into the Hall. In her pursuit of history, Ko has recorded five top-20 finishes since she won at Lake Nona Golf and Country Club, the best of which was a solo second at the LPGA Drive On Championship the week following the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions and the most recent of which is a tie for 17th that came at The Chevron Championship a couple of weeks ago. According to KPMG Performance Insights, Ko is ranked second in strokes gained total (+2.15), sixth in strokes gained tee to green (+1.43), 10th in strokes gained approach (+0.96) and 13th in strokes gained around the green (+0.40). She is also second in eagles (5), third in rounds under par (22), fourth in scoring average (70.04) and seventh in rounds in the 60s (11). This is Ko’s ninth start in the Cognizant Founders Cup, and in her eight previous appearances, she has earned a pair of runner-up results in 2014 and 2016 and recorded four additional T12 or better finishes, most recently tying for 12th in 2022.
