From April 14-16, the Wyndham Grand Algarve will organize the prestigious The Grand Young Talent Golf Tournament on the world-famous golf courses of Quinta do Lago.

This exclusive competition is a great way to allow young golf fans to get experience and exposure to the sport while also having a great time and meeting new friends.

A native from the Algarve and also a DP World Tour professional, the Portuguese golfer Ricardo Santos will be the event ambassador and will lead a golf clinic for all attendees.

“It’s great to be a part of this tournament and to help junior golf”, said Ricardo Santos.

Depending on the participant’s age, the Grand Young Talent Golf Tournament may use a variety of formats, such as stroke play for the U18 and U14 divisions or Stableford for the U10 division.

The rules of the game will dictate how the general and category awards are distributed, and both the gross and net score methods will be used.

According to reports, junior golf in Portugal has been on the rise in recent years, and several groups and initiatives have been established to foster its growth on a national and regional scale.

“Golf is a great sport for children for many reasons, it helps develop focus and resilience, it contributes to the development of social skills and it teaches you about integrity and honesty”, says Ricardo Santos.

Ricardo Santos aspires to encourage and support young golfers at The Grand Young Talent Golf Tournament and beyond through his ambassadorship and golf clinic.

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.
