Amazing golfing royalty from across the globe gathered last weekend at the Quinta do Lago, Algarve, for a three-day golf tournament. The One Green Way Invitational has quickly become the most prestigious private event in all of Europe, even in just its second year.

Picture this: the greatest players in the world competing in a private event on a flawless golf course surrounded by a surreal backdrop. Put away your daydreams; this isn’t a fairy tale; it’s the One Green Way Invitational, a mixed Pro-Am golf tournament held in Quinta do Lago North last weekend, which featured an impressive roster of golf celebrities. The total “prize money” was 332,500 Euros, with the grand prize at 55,000 Euros.

Multiple captains and vice-captains from the Ryder Cup and the Solheim Cup competed in this year’s edition. Several of the competitors have been inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame, while many more have won PGA or Open Championships. Bernhard Langer, José Maria Olazabal, and Colin Montgomerie are just some of the celebrities who participated in this tournament.

In the ladies, the highlight was the Mexican Laura Ochoa, who still holds the record for the most weeks in a row at the top of women’s golf, alongside other great presences such as Dame Laura Davies and Suzann Pettersen, a captain in the 2023 Solheim Cup.

Jean-Noel Bioul, the tournament’s host and an advisor to the One Green Way Board, stated in a statement before the event: “We are thrilled to organise the second ‘One Green Way Invitational’ this year. Everything about these three days of the tournament seems promising”. Sixty “legends” and sixty special guests will gather for the One Green Way Invitational.

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.
