Portugal Masters in Vilamoura

The European Tour announced the postponement of the Portugal Masters in Vilamoura due to continued travel difficulties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The golf tournament, which was scheduled to take place from April 29th to May 2nd at the Victoria Golf Course in Vilamoura, will be replaced by the Tenerife Open held at Costa Adeje Golf Course in Tenerife.

It is a disappointment that the current challenges with international travel have led to the postponement of the Portugal Masters at Victoria Golf Course. Everyone associated with the tournament, both in Portugal and on the European Tour, worked very hard to organize the event, which has been an important part of the schedule since 2007. Unfortunately, it was simply not possible to organize the event next month as well.
It will be rescheduled sometime later this year.

Tee Times Golf Agency is looking forward to new dates for the Portugal Masters in Vilamoura and will be delighted to offer all its services, since accommodation in the best hotels, such as Tivoli Marina Vilamoura*****, Crown Plaza*****, Vila Galé Ampalius****, Vila Galé Marina****, Dom Pedro Vilamoura & Marina****, among others equally welcoming, as well as the golf rounds at the other Vilamoura golf courses, such as Pinhal Golf Course, Millennium Golf Course and The Old Course, as well as transfers for all displacements, not forgetting the specialized suggestions for the best restaurants and nightlife in Vilamoura.

Filipe Lima prefers the Portugal Golf Masters

Filipe Lima has no doubts and ensures that he will choose the Portugal Golf Masters, to be played in Vilamoura at Dom Pedro Victoria Golf Course over the South African swing of the Challenge Golf Tour.

The 39-years-old Portuguese has the prestige to play in full time on the Challenge Golf Tour in 2021, but will choose to compete in the second European division and concentrate more on the opportunities he has to play in the main European level, not feeling that way, affected for the Challenge Golf Tour decision to postpone its three tournaments in South Africa from February to April and May.

Last season, when he realized that the pandemic would damage the competitive calendar, the Portuguese golfer resident in France took the opportunity to reduce the competitions, given the promise of the European circuit organizers to freeze the categories and keep them for 2021.

Likely, Filipe Lima would only enter the Oman Open Golf in March, so if the Challenge Golf Tour kicks off in February, as planned, he could try his luck.

Filipe Lima has a special affection for the Portugal Golf Masters in Vilamoura played at the Dom Pedro Victoria Golf Course. He is the second Portuguese with the best honours in this competition. He cut four times and in 2017 tied with Ricardo Melo Gouveia in 5th place, with whom he shares this national record.

It would be a weight reinforcement to have him at the Montado Hotel & Golf Resort (1st Tournament of the FPG Circuit). Ricardo Melo Gouveia has already perfectly admitted the possibility of starting his 2021 season in Palmela and, after all, Lima and Melo Gouveia are the two players who represented Portugal at the Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games in 2016.

Tee Times Golf Agency shares the special affection for the Portugal Masters and the Dom Pedro Victoria Golf Course, having for this tournament and all the golf holidays vast suggestions of golf packages including the best hotels and golf courses in the region, highlighting the Hotels: Tivoli Marina Vilamoura, Vila Galé (Ampalius & Marina), Dom Pedro (Vilamoura & Marina) and all the other Vilamoura courses (Pinhal, Laguna, Millennium & Old course).
