And when you’re off the course, unwind with fresh seafood, explore coastal villages, or go wine-tasting inland. The Algarve is as much about lifestyle as it is about golf.

A few tips before you go: check if the course you’re eyeing requires a handicap certificate (some top-tier ones do), and pack proper golf attire—yes, even on holiday, there’s a dress code.

Bottom line? Whether you’re chasing birdies or just the sunshine, a golf holiday in the Algarve is always a win. And with Tee Times handling the details, all you have to do is show up and swing.

Jon Rahm PGA Championship 2025 – A Lesson in Resilience

Posted on by

Jon Rahm came agonisingly close to writing his name on another Major title during the final round of the PGA Championship 2025, delivering a performance filled with flair, grit, and raw emotion. The Spanish golfer, already a national icon and a global presence, reminded fans of his trademark combination of power, precision, and character under pressure.

For much of the final day, Rahm was firmly in contention, rising up the leaderboard with an effortless confidence that’s come to define his career. While he ultimately fell short of clinching the title, the way he carried himself, on and off the course, was a masterclass in sportsmanship and mental resilience.

Jon Rahm came agonisingly close to writing his name on another Major title during the final round of the PGA Championship 2025, delivering a performance filled with flair, grit, and raw emotion. Though a handful of late errors cost him a chance at victory, the Spanish superstar reminded golf fans why he remains one of the most compelling figures in the sport.

“It’s been a long time since I had this much fun on a golf course,” Rahm admitted. “I played really well from 8 to 15… shame about those mistakes at the end.”

Inspired Play Through the Middle Stretch

Rahm’s final round at Valhalla was a rollercoaster. From holes 8 through 15, he was in vintage form, aggressive when needed, clinical with his irons, and clearly enjoying the moment. For much of Sunday, he was right in the hunt, navigating the tension of a packed leaderboard with clarity.

Though he narrowly missed birdie chances on holes 14 and 15, moments he later acknowledged as turning points, he stayed composed. “I knew I was tied. Even if you don’t check the leaderboard, the crowd tells you. I heard a roar on 10 while I was on 12 and I just knew, that was a birdie from Scottie [Scheffler].”

Pressure, Perspective, and the Pursuit of Majors

Rahm was candid about the nerves and technical challenges of the closing holes. “Anyone who says they didn’t feel nerves is lying,” he said. “It’s part of what we do. But it was also technical, small details I’m working on. They weren’t bad swings, just slightly off.”

Despite finishing just outside the winner’s circle, Rahm walked away with a broader sense of perspective. “It hurts, this was the closest I’ve come to winning a Major without pulling it off. But I’ll get over it. I’ve got a wonderful family who give me perspective. My kids don’t know if I won or lost, and that helps.”

Eyes Now on the US Open

Now, with confidence intact and his game in good shape, Rahm shifts his focus to the US Open, where he hopes to build on this momentum. “I’m happy I put myself in the mix. Hopefully I’ll learn from this and have another chance soon.”

In the high-stakes world of Major championship golf, it’s rare to hear such unfiltered honesty from a top-tier player, and even rarer to see such resilience in the face of near-miss heartbreak.

For Spanish golf, Rahm remains a flagbearer not just for excellence, but for emotional intelligence, sportsmanship, and the long game of personal growth.
