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.
At the first edition in its new guise, the Giovanni Nasi Trophy witnessed the participation of over 70 athletes from a wide range of countries (Italy, France, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Israel, Belgium, Chile, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, Turkey, Germany and Slovakia), and immediately resulted in one of the tournaments with the highest number of competitors ever on the EDGA circuit.

“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.”
