Portugal Shines at ESGA 2025: Vice-Champions in Super Seniors Net

Posted on by

Portugal’s journey at the ESGA 2025 (European Senior Golf Association) Super Seniors & Masters Team Championship in Denmark ended with pride, passion, and remarkable achievements. Representing the Associação Nacional Sénior de Golfe de Portugal (ANSGP), the Portuguese teams delivered an impressive performance that left a lasting mark on the European senior golf scene.

From July 14 to 17, the competition was played on three golf courses: Lyngbygaard Golf Club, Stensballegaard Golf Club and Mollerup Golf Club.

The spotlight was firmly on the ESGA Super Seniors Team Cup (Net), where Portugal secured a prestigious second place, finishing just three points behind the host nation, Denmark. This runner-up position crowns one of the best collective performances by the Portuguese in ESGA history, marked by unity, resilience, and competitive spirit across all three days.

Standout performances came from the duo Joaquim Pires and Anastácio Mendes, who scored 43 and 45 points on the first two days of the pairs format. The final round was also filled with emotion, as Valdemar Carvalho celebrated his 80th birthday—an unforgettable moment commemorated with a heartfelt rendition of “Happy Birthday” on the tee box by his teammates.

In the ESGA Super Seniors Team Championship (Gross), Portugal achieved its best-ever result: a commendable 13th place. The entire squad performed consistently well, with all three pairs posting identical scores on the first day. José Cruz and José Cândido de Oliveira showed steady form on Days 2 and 3, contributing to a strong overall team effort.

ESGA 2025: high-level golf

The Portuguese contingent in the ESGA Masters Team Trophy also impressed, finishing in 10th place. The pair of José Melo Cabral and Agostinho Lucas stood out in the early rounds, showcasing great form and focus.

Across all three competitions, the Portuguese teams displayed high-level golf, sportsmanship, and a strong team spirit—qualities that elevated the name of ANSGP and Portugal throughout the event.

With 2026 challenges set in Italy, Finland, and Croatia, the road ahead begins now. Participation in upcoming ANSGP tournaments will determine who carries the Portuguese flag in next year’s ESGA European Championships. The bar has been set high, and the passion to represent Portugal remains stronger than ever.

Tenerife Women’s Open returns to the spectacular Abama Golf

Posted on by

This week, from June 5–8, Tenerife becomes the heart of elite women’s golf as the Tenerife Women’s Open returns to the spectacular Abama Golf. As part of the Ladies European Tour (LET), the event brings together the finest players on the continent—and a powerful platform to showcase the island’s excellence, sustainability, and commitment to premium tourism.

Backed by Turismo de Tenerife and hosted at the iconic Abama Golf—designed by Dave Thomas and known for its ocean views and strategic layout—the tournament is more than just a sporting event. It’s a bold statement about the island’s future.

Nearly 97% of the water used on Tenerife’s golf courses is either regenerated or desalinated, with no impact on public consumption. Courses like Abama have their own desalination systems and use drought-resistant grass species integrated with cutting-edge irrigation technology. This eco-conscious design reflects a larger vision: positioning Tenerife as a leader in sustainable golf tourism.

As LET CEO Alexandra Armas noted to the press, “It’s a privilege to return to a destination that has done so much to elevate women’s golf.” And with three hours of daily live coverage reaching 144 million households across 87 countries, the world is watching.

Tenerife: A Dream Destination

For golfers, Tenerife isn’t just a tournament stop—it’s a dream destination. With an average golf visitor spending 29% more than the standard tourist, staying longer, and generating over €321 million in 2024 alone, the island’s appeal is clear.

Want to walk the same fairways as Europe’s top women golfers?
