European Tour golf in Portugal

European Tour golf Morgado Golf Resort

European Tour golf Morgado Golf Resort

Seven years later, European Tour golf returns to Portugal and will be hosted at the Morgado Golf Resort in the Algarve.

The European Tour golf announced today the definitive calendar for 2017 and in it, surprise, there is the “Open of Portugal in the Morgado Golf Resort (full name of the tournament), from 11 to 14 May at the Morgado Golf Course, the Nau Hotels & Resorts Group, in Portimão. The complex has another course, the Álamos Golf Course.

A welcome return, since it was not held since 2010 (under the Estoril Open title in Portugal) in Penha Longa, with victory of the Danish Thomas Bjorn, recently nominated captain of Europe in the Ryder Cup. The event therefore returns to the Algarve, since between 2007 and 2010 was played in Greater Lisbon courses (Oitavos Dunes, Cascais, 2007, 2008 and 2009, and Penha Longa in 2010).

It will be the 55th edition of one of the oldest and most emblematic events of the main European circuit. It will have a prize money of 500,000 Euros and will be dual, in the sense of scoring simultaneously for the European Tour and the Challenge Tour, as was the Madeira Open, which this year will not be played after 23 consecutive editions.

Open Portugal


The Open Portugal is one of three back-to-back races, alongside The Rocco Forte Open – Verdura (18-21 May) in Sicily, Italy, and the Andalucia Valderrama Masters hosted by the Sergio Garcia Foundation (19-22 October).

The Portuguese Open at the Morgado Golf Resort will be hosted by NAU Hotels & Resorts, owner of the golf course, the Portuguese Golf Federation (FPG) and the PGA of Portugal, in association with the European Tour and the Challenge Tour.

Portugal voted the best golf destination in the world for the third time
 
Portugal was chosen on Saturday as the best golf destination in the world for the third time in a row, receiving the prize awarded by the World Golf Awards, which awards the ‘Oscars’ of the sport.

In a ceremony held at the Conrad Algarve Hotel at Quinta do Lago, Portugal once again was selected ahead of destinations such as England, Scotland, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Wales, France, Germany, Spain, Turkey or Italy that competed in the same category.
World’s Best!
“Portugal will continue to work on attracting new segments [golf course professionals, corporate golf, women and young people] and supporting the flagship event: Portugal Masters, already scheduled for September 21 to 24 2017″, emphasized Turismo de Portugal, President, Luís Araújo.

There are currently 91 golf courses in Portugal (of which 66 are 18 or 27 holes). The Algarve is the region with the largest number of golf courses (44%), followed by the region of Lisbon (17.58%).

According to the organization, the World Golf Award “aims to stimulate the golf tourism industry and results from the online voting of professionals related to the sector, specialized tour operators and the media dedicated to golf, but also the public in general.”
