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. For an ultra-unique Portugal Golf Breaks, a stay at the Amendoeira Golf Resort is a must to enjoy the super modern and spacious apartments in self-catering or with breakfast and the other unique and challenging Amendoeira Faldo golf course. Several very attractive golf packages are available, highlighting: Amendoeira & Palmares Experience, Amendoeira Twix Experience, Amendoeira Dynamic Pack, Amendoeira & Palmares Full Experience and Amendoeira & Palmares Mega Pack.
Wanting to extend the experience, you can also visit the nearby Silves Golf Course, Salgados Golf Course and Palmares Golf Course.
The Vila Vita Parc Resort & Spa ***** overlooking the sea and with excellent and charming service and the hotel Vila Galé Nautico **** also facing the sea, are other wonderful options for an unforgettable Portugal Golf Breaks.

December 1st, 2020, entered in the history of national golf as the first time that a woman won a mixed tournament on the PGA Portugal Tour, the Portuguese Professional Circuit.
The national champion defeated her boyfriend Tomás Melo Gouveia in the play-off at Amendoeira Golf Resort, in the center of the Algarve and a unique natural beauty with the award-winning Faldo Course, designed by Sir Nick Faldo and the challenging O’Connor Jnr course.
Leonor Bessa is the author of this accomplishment ended the calendar of high competition in Portugal in the 2020 season.
Leonor Bessa had already won both women’s tournaments, in July and September, and is, therefore, the current national professional champion and absolute national champion. This most recent triumph maintained her invincibility internally and had a special impact for the historical record.
The 22-year-old Portuguese totalled 67 strokes, 5 below the Par of O’Connor Jr. Golf Course at Amendoeira Golf Resort, thanks to an exceptional round, unique in her professional career, as she had never made 18 competitive holes without suffering bogeys and converted 5 birdies.
The title decision was played at hole 18, where Tomás had even made a birdie and Leonor had matched the Par-4. Therefore, none played particularly well and it was with 1 bogey that the national champion took over her third title of the year.
A “sudden death”, at least curious and unusual, because Leonor Bessa and Tomás Melo Gouveia started dating this year and often train together in Algarve golf courses, such as: Vilamoura Pinhal, Vilamoura Millennium, Vilamoura Laguna, Vilamoura Old Course, Vilamoura Victoria as well as in Vale do Lobo Royal & Ocean, San Lorenzo & Pinheiros Altos and Quinta do Lago North, South & Laranjal, a region where they both reside and full of wonderful accommodation offers for an unforgettable golf holiday, we highlight the 5 star Hotels, Tivoli Marina Vilamoura, Crowne Plaza as well as the 4 star Hotels, Vila Galé Ampalius, Vila Galé Marina, Dom Pedro Vilamoura & Dom Pedro Marina.
Besides boyfriends, Tomás was Leonor’s caddy in tournaments of the Spanish Santander Golf Tour at the Real Golf Pedreña and at Oliva Nova Golf (Valencia) and she was also a caddy of him in a European Tour tournament, so the normal thing is to pull each other and not directly rival each other.
Her international season was also positive, ending, for the first time, in the top 10 (7th) of the Santander Golf Tour ranking, the Spanish professional circuit.
But the great achievement of this PGA Portugal Open was to meet for the first time this year, in the same tournament counting only for internal rankings, Tomás Bessa (-4), the national champion of professionals, who competes in the Alps Tour Golf; Ricardo Melo Gouveia (-3), the absolute national champion, who fights on the Challenge Tour; and Pedro Lencart (Par), the national amateur champion. In 2020 this happened only in the Portuguese tournaments of the European Tour and in this event.
The top-10 of the PGA Portugal Open 2020, held at the O’Connor Jr. Golf Course at Amendoeira Golf Resort, was as follows:
1st Leonor Bessa, 67 strokes (5 under par), (play-off victory), tee off from the blue marks;
2nd Tomás Melo Gouveia, 67 (-5), white marks;
3rd Tomás Bessa, 68 (-4), white marks;
3rd Miguel Gaspar, 68 (-4), white marks;
5. Ricardo Melo Gouveia, 69 (-3), white marks;
5th Tomás Silva, 69 (-3), white marks;
7th Susana Ribeiro, 71 (-1), blue marks;
7th Vítor Lopes, 71 (-1), white marks;
7th Alexandre Abreu, 71 (-1), white marks;
7th Pedro Cruz Silva, 71 (-1), amateur, white marks;
Tee Times Golf Agency congratulates Leonor Bessa on her success and wishes her many more achievements in her bright future, as well as, to all our clients, unforgettable golf holidays in our country that we will be happy to organize.
