Tee Times Portugal Golf – António Sobrinho Wins Optilink PGA Open at Palmares, Lagos, Portugal.

António Sobrinho proved that at age 44, completed last March, can still tap his foot to the best and won the Optilink PGA Open, the second tournament of the PGA Tour Portugal 2015.

The tournament of 6000 euros in prize money was held in Alvor and Lagos routes of Onyria Palmares Beach & Golf Resort in Lagos, Algarve.

The best Portuguese players were present, except for the injured Ricardo Santos and two residents abroad: Filipe Lima (France) and António Rosado (South Africa).

António Sobrinho, with the record of 11 titles of national champion, the last of which in 2008, totaled 139 strokes, 5 under par, with rounds of 74 and 65, and prevented the best ranked Portuguese in the world ranking, Ricardo Melo Gouveia, to add your 2nd consecutive trophy at the PGA Tour Portugal.

13 years ago, when António Sobrinho lived a memorable 2002 season in which he won almost all titles (failed only one) of the PGA Tour Portugal would not have been news his triumph in Palmares.

But at age 44, to be able to overcome opponents who are stars of the Challenge Tour, as Melo Gouveia and Figueiredo, both only 23 years old, and recognized national golf values, much younger, as Gonçalo Pinto, Hugo Santos, Miguel Gaspar and members of the amateur national team FPG, is not for everyone.

For many years nicknamed “The Portuguese Tiger Woods”, is the case to say that should change nickname for “The Portuguese Miguel Angel Jiménez”, alluding to the Spanish who, at 50, continues to be the best in the European Tour. The triumph in Onyria Palmares broke a double fast of three years of “left overs”.

His last title dated February 2012, a tournament played at Pestana Golf Resort’s Vale da Pinta, Carvoeiro, which included the Algarve Winter Tour, the international precursor circuit current Algarve Pro Golf Tour.

The next tournament on the PGA Tour Portugal 2015 will be the Liberty Seguros PGA Open, on 4th and 5th of June, also on the Palmares golf course.

The Algarve Secures ’Best Value Golf’ Hat-Trick in TG Poll

Tee Times Algarve Golf: The Algarve Secures ‘Best Value Golf’ Hat-Trick in TG Poll

The Algarve, Europe’s leading golf destination, is celebrating after being awarded the prestigious title of ‘Best Value Golf Destination’ in the 2015 Today’s Golfer Travel Awards.

The award, which is voted for by the readers of Today’s Golfer magazine, returns to the Algarve for the third time in four years, following previous wins in 2012 and 2013.

The picturesque region, which contains 41 courses and provides more than a million rounds to overseas golf visitors each year, saw off competition from across Europe to scoop the accolade.

A spokesperson for ATA (Algarve Turism Association) said: “We are absolutely delighted to have been recognised once again as Europe’s best value golf destination, particularly as the Today’s Golfer awards are voted for exclusively by golfers.

To win the ‘Best Value’ prize also really demonstrates how highly UK golfers rate the Algarve – not only for the quality of our destination but for the great value they get whenever they visit.

“In 2015 visiting UK golfers will receive even greater value as the British Pound has strengthened almost 10% against the Euro in the past 12 months so budgets will go that bit further.”

“To win three times out of the last four years is particularly pleasing and we’ll be striving to ensure that we retain the trophy next year.”

Kevin Brown, travel editor at Today’s Golfer, said: “The annual TG Travel Awards – the ‘Oscars of the golf travel industry’ – have proved a huge hit since being introduced in 2011.

“They are awards which provide a totally objective view of the best hotels, courses and regions, because it is the paying public, our readers, who decide where the titles go.

“The Algarve is a deserving winner of the ‘Best Value Golf Destination’, as reflected by the overwhelming number of people who voted for the region. Winning three years out of four is a great record, and one the Algarve should be justly proud of.”
