Longines Global Champions Tour returns to Valkenswaard

The Longines Global Champions Tour is returning to Valkenswaard, Netherlands, as part of its 20th anniversary season. Founded in 2006 by Jan Tops, a former Olympic gold medalist, the tour has expanded from its roots to include international locations such as Paris, Monaco, Shanghai, and Giza.

Tops noted that his experience as a rider informed the tour’s focus on presentation, media, sponsorship, and long-term sustainability. The organization aims to continue bringing show jumping to new audiences and developing the sport globally.
