Michael Jordan hangs out in Costa del Sol BASKETBALL superstar Michael Jordan arrived in Malaga on his private jet this week, drawing attention to the Costa del Sol as an excellent destination for elite sport and luxury escapes. The legendary athlete, a passionate golfer, is visiting the region ahead of the upcoming LIV Golf Andalucia tournament. The high-stakes event takes place from Thursday, June 4 to Sunday, June 7 at the Real Club Valderrama in Sotogrande. The competition features a 54hole individual and team format on one of Europe’s most demanding courses. Valderrama presents a tough strategic test for competitors, featuring tight fairways and mature trees. Jordan will join fans watching golfing greats including Jon Rahm and Sergio Garcia. Spectators can access fine hospitality options and live entertainment throughout the week, with early bird tickets still available through official channels. When in Marbella, Jordan often likes to try out the local Costa del Sol cuisine by just walking into authentic chiringuitos to eat beside the locals, though on this trip he has been spotted dining at exclusive spots like Leña while networking.
