The PGA of Portugal, its events partner Best Golf Corporation (BGC) and some of the Algarve ’s most attractive venues have joined forces to present the Pro Golf Portugal Winter Tour (PGP Winter Tour).

The new Tour’s aim is to provide golf professionals across Europe both with competition and the opportunity to prepare for any level of tournament in the 2008 season, on quality golf courses in favourable conditions.

Golf is played all year round on the Algarve during the worst of the winter months in central and northern Europe , hence the creation of the PGP Winter Tour. The Tour is comprised of a series of four events that run from mid-November to mid-December (Western Algarve) and another five events that run from mid-January to mid-February (

Eastern Algarve ).  

More than €225,000.00 will be available in prize monies with the top players having the chance to also qualify for European Tour events held in Portugal .

The tournaments will be played at some of the best courses in both these regions where European Challenge Tour, Senior Tour and Ladies Tour events are held. They include Pestana (three courses) and Quinta da Ria (two) along with some mature and historic venues such as Alto Golf, Benamor and Castro Marim, and the Algarve ’s latest Seve Ballesteros design, Quinta do Vale. 

Travel packages at very competitive prices will also be on offer, thereby ensuring that all competitors will not only have an enjoyable time competing and practising in the

Algarve , but also be able to enjoy the regions world-renowned weather conditions, cuisine and other attractions.

Entries will be processed on a first-come-first-served basis so reservations should be made as soon as possible.

    Is it possible for me to say that this tour never happened and i still have not got back the money that i paid for this Tour , the PGA of Portugal will not answer the telephone and always give a different answer why they not give back money, i have played on many tours and never have problem before.

    I would like to second that comment from above, i was supposed to play in that tour , i paid for my flight and lodging etc, only to be told the day before it was cancelled,this is a disgrace to the profession of PGA Pro’s in general, the Portuguese PGA have no respect for the players what so ever,they will never see me again our any of my fellow Pro’s.

    Well i called them for my friend because he will not speak to them anymore, he is so stressed out about all this,he has had to cancel going to play in the EPD tour in Turkey also because he has not got his money back, when i spoke to a lady on the phone all she could say was they have run out of checks and are waiting for more from the bank, that was over a month ago.
