Portugal golf – Hyundai is the official vehicle of the Portuguese Golf Federation

Portuguese Golf Federation

Hyundai Portugal and the Portuguese Golf Federation (FPG) have just established a partnership for the next sporting season. The association of the South Korean brand with this modality which has registered a notable growth in Portugal due to its characteristics, such as, social distance and the relationship with nature, aims to promote contact between golfers with a new vehicle generation, completely renewed and technologically evolved.

This partnership is based on values that are intrinsic to the two entities, such as environmental sustainability, energy efficiency with the implementation of policies for the rational management of natural resources, namely water, in the case of golf courses and a constant commitment to technological evolution, for example, through the car electrification process, in the case of the South Korean brand. From this partnership, more profound principles that unite Hyundai Portugal to the FPG also stand out are integrity, responsibility, sportsmanship, perseverance and inclusion.

Technological democratization, one of Hyundai’s main strategies, through the provision of new-generation vehicles to all consumers, is also coincident with the phenomenon that the sport is experiencing, of growing interest in golf for different audiences, for which the south brand Korean will be able to add even more value, attracting an increasingly younger, diversified consumer with a more conscious lifestyle.

Thus, Hyundai Portugal becomes the official vehicle of the Portuguese Golf Federation and, as an official sponsor of the sport in Portugal, it will also be present in all events on the FPG calendar, making the FPG a new ambassador of the South Korean brand.

This Hyundai alliance with the Portuguese Golf Federation is based on a strategic commitment to increase brand awareness and reflects a common orientation towards the values of sustainability and social inclusion of a new society concerned with the future.

The investment in golf by a major brand, such as Hyundai, will decisively contribute not only to greater visibility of the sport but also to a more robust domestic market, more sustainable sports facilities, a healthier society and better able to generate wealth for the country.

Tee Times Golf Agency considers this partnership with the Portuguese Golf Federation very prestigious for Hyundai and the national golf sector as well as for all the Portugal golf courses where the tournaments take place. These magnificent vehicles can be admired in the next tournaments, such as the 2021 European Individual Championship for Golfers with Disability, from 21 – 24/08/21 that will be held in the stunning Algarvian golf course Amendoeira O’Connor Junior, near Armação de Pera.
