\u2013 Zach Johnson, P\u00e1draig Harrington, Bernhard Langer e Miguel \u00c1ngel Jim\u00e9nez elogiam o The Els Club Vilamoura e o Algarve em antecipa\u00e7\u00e3o ao Portugal Invitational inaugural<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Vilamoura, Algarve, Portugal \u2013 30 de julho, 2026<\/strong> \u2013 A apenas um dia do arranque do Portugal Invitational inaugural, a expetativa cresce no The Els Club Vilamoura, com alguns dos maiores nomes do golfe a prepararem-se para o primeiro evento de sempre do PGA TOUR Champions na Europa.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ap\u00f3s uma semana de treinos, rondas de Pro-Am e preparativos no Algarve, as aten\u00e7\u00f5es viram-se agora para a primeira volta de sexta-feira. Antes das primeiras tacadas de competi\u00e7\u00e3o, jogadores como Zach Johnson, P\u00e1draig Harrington, Bernhard Langer e Miguel \u00c1ngel Jim\u00e9nez elogiaram as condi\u00e7\u00f5es do campo anfitri\u00e3o e a qualidade do destino que acolhe o elenco de 78 golfistas.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Johnson chega a Portugal em excelente forma na sua \u00e9poca de estreia no PGA TOUR Champions, somando j\u00e1 tr\u00eas vit\u00f3rias em 2026. O vencedor de dois Majors e capit\u00e3o da equipa dos EUA na Ryder Cup de 2023 ficou impressionado tanto com o torneio como com o campo anfitri\u00e3o. \"\u00c9 um evento de topo e o campo de golfe \u00e9 realmente muito bom\", afirmou Johnson. \"Acho que \u00e9 espetacular.\"<\/span><\/p>\n

O norte-americano sublinhou ainda o regresso a um destino que conheceu pela primeira vez em 2005, ao competir em Vilamoura. \"Estar de regresso ao Algarve, estar de volta aqui a Vilamoura, \u00e9 especial\", afirmou.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Consigo perceber perfeitamente por que raz\u00e3o cada vez mais pessoas escolhem passar tempo aqui, seja de f\u00e9rias ou para viver\", afirmou Johnson. \"H\u00e1 tanto para aproveitar \u2013 o oceano, a gastronomia, o golfe e o estilo de vida. \u00c9 um lugar onde d\u00e1 gosto estar, e o tempo est\u00e1 fant\u00e1stico.\"<\/p>\n

Johnson ficou particularmente impressionado com a maturidade e o estado do The Els Club Vilamoura. \"Os greens est\u00e3o incr\u00edveis. A bola rula mesmo muito bem. \u00c9 dif\u00edcil de acreditar que este espa\u00e7o \u00e9 relativamente recente, porque parece que j\u00e1 existe h\u00e1 imenso tempo.\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Harrington, vencedor de tr\u00eas Majors e anunciado esta semana como vice-capit\u00e3o da equipa europeia na Ryder Cup de 2027, foi igualmente perent\u00f3rio na sua avalia\u00e7\u00e3o do campo.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"O The Els Club est\u00e1 a afirmar-se aqui como uma refer\u00eancia. Est\u00e1 nas melhores condi\u00e7\u00f5es que se possa imaginar. Seria imposs\u00edvel estar melhor\", afirmou Harrington. \"\u00c9 um campo de golfe de campeonato, por isso sente-se verdadeiramente que o PGA TOUR Champions est\u00e1 a trazer um grande evento ao Algarve.\"<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\"O irland\u00eas, que visita o Algarve desde 1990, sublinhou tamb\u00e9m o apelo de longa data da regi\u00e3o enquanto destino de golfe. \"\u00c9 simplesmente um \u00f3timo pa\u00eds para o golfe, uma excelente terra para campos de golfe\", afirmou Harrington. \"\u00c9 definitivamente um lugar onde, quando me reformar \u2013 se \u00e9 que alguma vez me reformo \u2013, gostaria de comprar a minha casa de f\u00e9rias.\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Bernhard Langer, que se estreou em Portugal h\u00e1 50 anos, elogiou tamb\u00e9m os padr\u00f5es de qualidade que encontrou no seu regresso ao pa\u00eds.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Tudo at\u00e9 agora tem sido de topo, cinco estrelas\", afirmou Langer. \"\u00c9 extremamente conveniente ficar alojado mesmo no campo de golfe, com tudo o que precisamos aqui t\u00e3o perto. Tem sido incr\u00edvel at\u00e9 ao momento, e acho que toda a gente est\u00e1 a adorar o campo de golfe.\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Miguel \u00c1ngel Jim\u00e9nez destacou tamb\u00e9m a combina\u00e7\u00e3o entre golfe, clima e estilo de vida que faz do Algarve o cen\u00e1rio natural para o Portugal Invitational.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"O Algarve tem tudo o que se procura para um grande evento de golfe \u2013 um clima fant\u00e1stico, uma forte cultura da modalidade e um local onde as pessoas gostam realmente de passar tempo. O campo est\u00e1 em excelente estado e \u00e9 \u00f3timo para o PGA TOUR Champions vir a Portugal e trazer este elenco at\u00e9 Vilamoura.\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Miller Brady, presidente do PGA TOUR Champions, afirmou que a rea\u00e7\u00e3o dos jogadores e das respetivas fam\u00edlias ao longo dos \u00faltimos dias reflete o significado mais amplo de trazer o circuito at\u00e9 Portugal.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Os nossos jogadores est\u00e3o a chegar, entram no hotel e ficam de olhos arregalados\", disse Brady. \"Est\u00e3o a desfrutar da calorosa hospitalidade deste pa\u00eds. \u00c9 disto que se trata esta semana para o nosso circuito. H\u00e1 um ambiente familiar e penso que vai crescer cada vez mais a cada ano que passa. Para n\u00f3s, \u00e9 \u00f3timo para o turismo, \u00e9 \u00f3timo para o golfe e excelente para o Champions Tour.\"<\/span><\/p>\n

\"N\u00e3o pod\u00edamos ter pedido uma melhor prepara\u00e7\u00e3o para o primeiro Portugal Invitational\", acrescentou Todd Rhinehart, Diretor do Torneio. \"O campo est\u00e1 em fant\u00e1sticas condi\u00e7\u00f5es, os jogadores est\u00e3o entusiasmados e tudo est\u00e1 a postos para uma primeira volta muito especial na sexta-feira.\"<\/span><\/p>\n

O Portugal Invitational arranca esta sexta-feira no The Els Club Vilamoura, trazendo pela primeira vez a competi\u00e7\u00e3o do PGA TOUR Champions \u00e0 Europa. O elenco de 78 jogadores vai competir ao longo de 54 buracos, de 31 de julho a 2 de agosto, com Johnson e Harrington entre uma lista que re\u00fane campe\u00f5es de Majors, lendas da Ryder Cup e alguns dos principais atletas do PGA TOUR Champions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Para al\u00e9m do pr\u00f3prio campo, a edi\u00e7\u00e3o inaugural do Portugal Invitational reuniu uma forte rede de parceiros e parceiros de transmiss\u00e3o, ajudando a dar ao torneio uma plataforma de grande impacto logo a partir da sua primeira edi\u00e7\u00e3o.
