The Portugal Masters is returning to Vilamoura

The most prestigious tournament of golf in Portugal returns to the Dom Pedro Victoria golf course. The dates for the Portugal Masters 2022 have been set for October 27th-30th, with the Pro-Am taking place on the 26th and a prize money of 1.75 million euros.

This is the 16th year in a row that the popular golf holiday destination Vilamoura will host its major golf tournament, the only one in Portugal to be part of the so-called “first division” of European professional golf.

Since its establishment in 2007, it has been held annually at the Dom Pedro Victoria Golf Course, which was designed by the great Arnold Palmer.

The Portugal Masters is a testament to the high calibre of Portugal’s golf courses and tourist infrastructures, allowing it to attract golf’s most accomplished players. Due to the Portugal Masters’ prominence on the DP Tour’s European Circuit since 2007, the Algarve has been widely recognized as one of the world’s top golfing locations.

Around 40.000 people are expected to attend the Portugal Masters 2022. The tournament will receive extensive coverage from the international press.

With a score of 19 under par, Belgian golfer Thomas Pieters won the Portugal Masters in 2021, giving him his fifth title on the DP World Tour. In the end, Pieters had a two-stroke advantage over the runners-up, the Frenchman Matthieu Pavon, Lucas Bjerregaard of Denmark, and the 2017 champion, Nicolai Hojgaard, also from Denmark.

Costa Dorada Golf New Shuttle Service

Tee Times Spain Golf – Costa Dorada New Shuttle Service

The Costa Dorada Golf Association has recently announced that from March 1st, 2016 will offer a “Golf Shuttle” service between hotels, golf courses and the two airports serving the golf destination (Barcelona and Reus).

As a part of ongoing efforts to improve services it will start to operate a “Golf Shuttle” that will service the 9 hotels and 7 golf courses. By adding this service the visiting golfers can enjoy the golfing offer without having to use rental cars.

The “Golf Shuttle” is available for any group size but the minimum charge will be for 4 persons. Bookings for 1-3 persons will be accepted (but charged as 4 persons). Net rates “per person” are available. So if the final group size is affected by late cancellations it will not affect the price for those who actually travel!

In order to optimize customer satisfaction each “Golf Shuttle” transfer will be individually booked in order to fit as good as possible with each client’s golf- and flight schedule.

Period of operation: March 1st – June 15th and September 1st – November 30th

The service will need to be booked at least 14 days before arrival. Bookings made with shorter notice are possible but will be “on request” and cannot be guaranteed. The transfers will be operated by one of the major transfer companies in the Costa Dorada region with many years of experience in the golf segment.
