Open de Portugal will be decisive to the Road of Mallorca rankings

Open de Portugal will take place in Óbidos, Lisbon region, from September 14 to 17, and we bring you what you must know in order to be prepared for the drama at Royal Óbidos.

A Severiano Ballesteros’ masterpiece, the golf course at the beautiful Royal Óbidos Spa & Golf Resort, is not to be missed. The Spanish designer made a difficult course that uses the natural settings and the hilly land to its advantage. On hole 3, players hit their ball into an island green with the Óbidos lagoon in the background. The 18th hole has a view of the back nine, the clubhouse, and the Atlantic Ocean.

Open de Portugal has been held at Royal Óbidos for four straight years, including this year’s edition of the tournament. In 2020, Garrick Higgo won the first Open de Portugal held at Royal Óbidos. He was followed by Marcel Schneider in 2021 and Pierre Pineau in 2022. Who will win this year?

There are only five tournaments left to see which player will move on to the DP World Tour. At the end of the Rolex Challenge Tour Grand Final at Club de Golf Alcanada, the best 20 players in the Road to Mallorca Rankings will secure the promotion.
