Tommy Fleetwood
Tommy Fleetwood will participate for the sixth time in the European Tour tournament, having competed in the Algarve every year between 2012 and 2016.
«I am looking forward to returning to the Dom Pedro Victoria Golf Course. It is a beautiful area of the world and I have beautiful memories of when I played there in the past,” said Fleetwood.
«In 2020, I started well in the Race to Dubai, with two positive weeks in the Middle East, including a 2nd place tied behind Lee Westwood in Abu Dhabi. As with everyone else, my season was suspended shortly after, but I am focused on a strong conclusion of the season and I think the Portugal Masters will be the ideal place in Europe to face a good list of participants, before heading to the US Open the following week, ”he added.

As with all the tournaments in the 2020 rectification calendar, the Portugal Masters will be subject to the European Tour Safety and Health Program (COVID-19 Health Strategy) and, consequently, spectators will not be allowed on the Dom Pedro Victoria Golf Course.
