Open de Portugal

The Open de Portugal, previously the Portuguese Open, is an annual professional golf tournament. It was first played in 1953, and was part of the European Tour's schedule from 1973 to 2010. After a hiatus, the tournament returned in 2017 as a dual-ranking event on both the European Tour and the second-tier Challenge Tour, after which it continued as Challenge Tour-only event. In 2020, as part of major changes to the season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it returned to the European Tour schedule as a dual-ranking event.[1]
