Giovanni Nasi & Diasorin International Cup (EDGA)
Sport and inclusivity
About the project
Since its inception in 1996, the Giovanni Nasi Trophy has been an example of inclusion in the Italian golf landscape by reserving a ranking and prize for the leading disabled golfer.
The turning point occurred in 2022, when the nature of the tournament changed into an international competition on the European Disabled Golfers Association (EDGA) circuit, valid for the world rankings, approved by the Italian Golf Federation, and sponsored by the Italian Paralympic Committee.
Diasorin has enthusiastically joined this project without limiting its collaboration, combining professionalism, enthusiasm and demonstrating major adherence with the values of inclusivity using sport as a vehicle.
In 2024, the third edition of the Giovanni Nasi Trophy & Diasorin Cup for Disabled Golfers took place at the beautiful Circolo Golf Torino La Mandria course. As part of the EDGA international circuit, the event was validated by the Italian Golf Federation and backed by the Italian Paralympic Committee, ensuring its significance in the global rankings.
In a year marked by global celebrations of sport’s values of competition and diversity, as showcased in the Olympic and Paralympic Games, nearly 60 athletes from around the world competed in Turin on September 19 and 20. Their participation underscored the power of sport to elevate differences and talents. This achievement highlights Diasorin's commitment to promoting diversity and inclusion in sports.

“Because when you only have one leg, or one arm, or you’re blind, the hardest thing is to live with the problem day in, day out. Golf is good therapy.”
