Golf Business News – Palmares announces as Olazabal & Friends Charity Pro – Am’s new home
The fourth edition of Olazabal & Friends Charity Pro-Am will travel to a new venue in Portugal this fall after Palmares Ocean Living & Golf (pictured) was announced as its new home.
Hosted by two-time Masters champion José María Olazábal, the event starting from November 21-23 offers an exclusive opportunity for amateurs to join the former European Ryder Cup captain and his friends at one of the top golf resorts in Portugal to gain an ascent and intimate experience in one of the top golf resorts in Portugal.
Nuno Sepulveda is a detailed co-CEO – hospitality, sports, leisure.
Profits raised throughout the event will once again be donated to Spanish nonprofit Sport Mundi, dedicated to helping children in need.
Spanish legend Miguel Ángel Jiménez, a 21-time DP World Tour champion and member of four European Ryder Cup teams, has confirmed that he will play with close friend Olazábal for the fourth year in his fourth year in November and announced more big names in the coming months.
Each team consists of one professional and three amateurs, who consist of a round of practice and two competitive rounds, by Palmares’ three famous nine-hole layouts designed by Robert Trent Jones Jnr, Alvor, Lago and Praia.
After the practice round and the welcome dinner on Friday, November 21, all three of the three cycles in the nine-hole cycle throughout the weekend will be the focus of attention. Participants will participate in the PRAIA and ALVOR loop on the first day, followed by the Alvor and Lagos loop to end the game.
On a busy itinerary, attendees will be able to soak the full range of quality hospitality and leisure products of Palmares on the sunny Algarve coast – another highlight is the form of a special dinner at the resort’s Michelin-starred restaurant, Al Sud and Party, and will be held on the evening of November 22.
Olazábal said: “We appreciate the details – hospitality, sports, leisure (Palmares Ocean Living & Golf Management Company) hosted our charity Pro-Am this year at the wonderful Palmares Ocean Living & Golf. It filled me with pride. We were able to continue to raise funds for children – my colleagues – I have made money on our Charity Sports, which is my colleagues, and it’s a great forward-looking and I have become a great event!
Characterized by incredible views, Palmares cemented its reputation as one of the European bucket list golf destinations. The 27-hole golf course is well-known for its various challenges, backed by award-winning facilities, cuisine and amazing real estate. At the heart of this experience is the highly praised clubhouse, which won the “Best Club in Europe” at the 2024 World Golf Awards.
