Hahnenkamm winners, influencers and entrepreneurs golf on the Streif downhill course for the most coveted title of the summer.
The Streif is a magnet for the destination in summer and winter. It is always a pleasure to see how ambitiously all participants prepare for Golf the Streif and are already registering for next year’s edition.

Kitzbuhel (OTS) – Golfing on the legendary Streif? It sounds special, and it is. Only once a year is it possible to conquer the world’s most legendary downhill run with a golf club. At Golf the Streif, sports stars compete with passionate golfers. The presentation of the new poster for the Hahnenkamm Races 2025 rounds off this unique event.
As part of the Kitzbühel Golf Festival, the starting house on the Hahnenkamm mutated into a golf mecca. At Golf the Streif, prominent skiing, running, athletics and football professionals as well as passionate golfers met for the annual tournament of a special kind.
Golf the Streif 2024
The unique tournament format on the legendary downhill course makes it possible to play golf on the Streif once a year. A must-attend event for those familiar with the format and golf enthusiasts, where the adrenaline of the Streif mixes with the precision of golf.
After breakfast at the start house, we set off in a flight of four along 12 holes of the downhill race course. The best-placed ball serves as a reference for the next shot. A short stop at the Seidlalm provides a breather before continuing on the challenging traverse to the finish. The winner is the team with the fewest hits. This is not a safe undertaking for the pre-caddies – which is why they are equipped with helmets along the route. Hole-in-one on two holes as well as Longest Drive and Nearest to the Pin pay off for the players and are rewarded with special prizes such as a golf cart, a Golf on Snow weekend, a semi-private jet return flight and high-quality vouchers.
Kitzbühel Tourism Managing Director Dr. Like every year, Viktoria Veider-Walser is on site at this event: “The Streif is a magnet for the destination in summer and winter. It’s always a pleasure to see how ambitiously all participants prepare for Golf the Streif and are already registering for next year’s edition.”
Hahnenkamm meets guests of honor
As a traditional start, the Kitzbühel Ski Club, together with Mr. Peter Kofler, BTV managing director for private customers in Germany, presented the poster for the 85th Hahnenkamm Race from January 20th to 26th, 2024. Over 300 works from 158 artists worldwide were presented at the popular event Competition submitted. This year’s poster by Tyrolean artist Golif is in black and white and shows a clear contrast.
Traditionally, the Kitzbühel Ski Club opened around President Dr. Michael Huber Golf the Streif as 1st flight. Kitzbühel Tourism welcomed the Hahnenkamm Legends Flight from France as special guests of honor: Hahnenkamm double winner downhill 2024 Cyprien Sarrazin, Hahnenkamm winner Slalom 2019 Clément Noël and Johan Clarey, multiple runners-up in the Super-G 2019 as well as in the downhill 2021, 2022 and 2023 . Hahnenkamm Slalom 2024 winner and long-time member of the Kitzbühel Ski Club, Linus Straßer, accompanied the French as the fourth flight partner.
Other ski stars included Hanni Weirather-Wenzel, Michaela Gerg and Valentin Giraud Moine. Former tennis talent Thomas Weirather, long-distance runner and “Let’s Dance” participant, as well as “The Big Celebrity Baking” winner Sabrina “Mocki” Mockenhaupt and track and field athlete Katrin Krabbe also golfed down the Streif. In terms of golf, top-class professionals were on site with the charismatic golf pro Sophie Weilguni and Max Glattenbacher, the owner of the Kitzgolf Academy at the Kitzbühel-Schwarzsee-Reith golf course. Entrepreneur KR Fritz Unterberger once again insisted on attending the event with former football player Roland Hattenberger.
This year there were three holes-in-one. The winners were delighted to receive a golf cart from Club Car, a Golf on Snow weekend by Adi Hengstberger and a special prize. As the winner of the 2024 flight, the Lederhosen team was just ahead of the Kitzbüheler Ski Club, as was the case last year.
