Tee Times Algarve Golf – Algarve Celebrates Ricoh Women’s British Open Partnership – Official European Golf Destination

The Algarve region in Portugal has strengthened its commitment to engage with golfers across the spectrum by becoming ‘Official European Golf Destination’ of the 2015 Ricoh Women’s British Open at Trump Turnberry Resort, Scotland.

Following the success of the destination’s association with the Volvo World Match Play event last year, the Algarve will head to Scotland in July to showcase its unique attributes to a distinguished and knowledgeable audience, backed by a pre-event, multi-platform campaign.

This will include the opportunity for four lucky golfers to play the historic Trump Turnberry Ailsa golf course and offering 150 golf fans the chance to witness all the action of the prestigious event.

From July 30 – August 2, the illustrious competition will see some of the world’s finest lady golfers – including defending champion Mo Martin and Michelle Wie who won her first major at last year’s US Open – compete for the title.

A spokesperson for ATA said: “We are delighted to be the ‘Official European Golf Destination’ of the Ricoh Women’s British Open, and we look forward to a fantastic event at Trump Turnberry Resort at the end of July.

“We have a number of fun and interesting campaigns in store which we’re confident will get people really excited about golf in the Algarve.”

IMG Tournament Director Ross Hallett added: “We’re thrilled to once again work with the Algarve Tourism Board and welcome them as the ‘Official European Golf Destination’ for the 2015 Ricoh Women’s British Open.

“We believe that the Championship will provide a fantastic platform for them to showcase the best of the Algarve to a captivated golf audience.”

The Algarve’s sun-drenched climate boasts more than 300 days of sunshine per year, extending the golf season by several months and bringing players from all over the world to the region.

Tee Times Golf – 2015 Masters PGA Tournament – USA

Tee Times Golf – 2015 Masters PGA Tournament – USA – 9th to 12th April 2015

Finally. It’s here – the season’s first major championship, the Masters. Practice sessions started last Monday the 6th and the first round wil start Thursday the 9th and the last will end on Sunday the 12th.

The Masters is strictly an invitation Tournament. The qualification regulations are the principal means of determining the player invitation list.

The player field being small, many Tournament formalities and regulations are eliminated. The first consideration is to provide a first class golf course in as beautiful and nearly perfect condition as effort can make it; and, secondly, to show our player guests every possible courtesy.

The chief objective of the Masters is to stage a golf show that is enjoyable to all – our members, patrons and player guests, and to interested golfers generally. We would also like, if we can, to contribute something to the advancement of the game.

It’s been eight long months since the last major, when Rory McIlroy took the PGA Championship at Valhalla. Since then, anyone who loves golf has been dying for the Masters to get here.

Aside from the fact that it’s, well, the Masters, there are so many other reasons to be excited for this week. Tiger Woods is back. Rory McIlroy has a chance to complete the career grand slam and win his third consecutive major. Bubba Watson could make it three wins in four years. It’s Ben Crenshaw’s final Masters. The list goes on.

Here are 10 players to keep an eye on at Augusta National.

10. Tiger Woods: Did you see any of the highlights of Tiger from his practice session at Augusta National on Monday? I’ve never seen him like that. He looked human instead of robotic. Including the four victories, Tiger has racked up 13 top-8 finishes in the Masters since 1997.

9. Jimmy Walker: Over the last two seasons, no player on the PGA Tour has been better than Walker. Since October of 2013 when the Tour’s wraparound schedule began, Walker has collected five wins and a total of 15 top 10s. He heads to Augusta having won in his last start — a home game — in San Antonio.

8. Patrick Reed: To succeed on the PGA Tour, one has to have that belief in self. Not everyone is as forthcoming with that belief as Reed, but boy can he play. He won two NCAA championships while playing for Augusta State, so it’s safe to say there’s no major he’d rather win more than the Masters in his college town.

7. Dustin Johnson: In five starts at Augusta National, Johnson’s best finish is a T13 in 2013. It’s the only major in which he’s failed to record a top 10. Something has got to give there. For a long time now, Johnson has been one of the most talented players on the PGA Tour. The only thing missing from his resume is a major.

6. Adam Scott: The 2013 Masters champ — the first-ever Australian-born player to win a green jacket — is flying under the radar this week at Augusta National. And that’s just the way he likes it. With all eyes on the likes of Tiger, Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth and Bubba Watson, Scott can just go about his work.

5. Henrik Stenson: Here’s another player flying under the radar at Augusta National. Stenson — the No. 2-ranked player in the world — is still in search of his first major championship win. The Masters is the lone major where Stenson has failed to record a top 10. He’s poised to change that.

4. Jason Day: Day has pretty much put it out there that there’s no tournament he’d rather win than this one. He tied for second in the 2011 Masters and was third in 2013. Perhaps the only problem facing Day at Augusta National is harnessing his desire to win and not letting it get in the way of his play.

3. Jordan Spieth: While Walker has been the hottest player on the Tour over the last 24+ months, no player has been hotter the last month than the 21-year-old Spieth. In nine starts this season, he has already amassed six top-10 finishes, including a win at the Valspar Championship, followed by back-to-back runner-up finishes — all of those in his last three starts.

2. Rory McIlroy: McIlroy has the chance to complete the career grand slam this week at Augusta National. It would also be his third consecutive major victory and would have everyone ecstatic about the possibility of a “Rory Slam” come June at the U.S. Open. His play early on this season has left something to be desired for the world’s No. 1 player. But he’s fired up for this week.

1. Bubba Watson: Watson is deservedly the favorite this week at Augusta National. He’s the defending champ and has won the tournament in two of the last three years. Because of that success, Watson’s confidence has been sky high and it’s shown in his results.

Golf in Algarve is also an excellent way of experiencing the nearby pristine nature with wonderful inland and sea coast landscapes, where the courses are beautifully integrated, regarding the fauna and the flora.

Organised by the Região de Turismo do Algarve (Algarve Tourism Board) with support from Turismo de Portugal and in partnership with seven different bodies, the event also includes an exhibition at Faro’s waterfront park, the “Parque Ribeirinho”. The exhibition will be taking place from the 17th to the 19th of April, and various companies that operate in nature tourism in the Algarve will be exhibiting. This is a great opportunity to get to know them and discover the programme of experiences that they have created for you. Admission is free.
