Portugal Masters
The Portugal Masters is a European Tour men's professional golf tournament which was played for the first time in October 2007. The prize fund was €3 million, making it the richest golf tournament in the country, and comfortably in the top half of European Tour events.[1] It was jointly staged by the European Tour and the Portuguese Tourist Board (ITP) under an initial three-year agreement.[2] Since 2013 the prize fund has been €2 million. The host course is the Arnold Palmer designed Dom Pedro Victoria Golf Course in Vilamoura.[3]
