The DP World Tour’s Iberian Swing concludes with the Portugal Masters. Dom Pedro Victoria Golf Course plays host to the event, and it is one the players enjoy as with the weather turning decidedly cold in northern Europe, it will be short-sleeve weather in the Algarve. Robert MacIntyre is one of the in-form players teeing it up, having secured a win earlier in the season.

It’s the last-chance saloon for players on the DP World Tour to wrap up their playing rights for next season, with the window closing on securing a spot at the DP World Tour Championship.
The Iberian Swing concludes with the Portugal Masters at Dom Pedro Victoria Golf Course, and there will be players with vastly different goals teeing it up.
The likes of Robert MacIntyre and Nicolai Hojgaard are winners with their status guaranteed - and their aims will be to bolster their positions in the Ryder Cup standings with eyes firmly on places on the European team in Rome next year.
For others, and there are many, the aim is a big finish under the highest of pressure to guarantee their playing rights for 2023 - with those outside the top 117 in the rankings missing out on a Tour card.
The lifestyle of a professional golfer is viewed as a glamorous one, and for your Jon Rahms, Rory McIlroys and Tiger Woodses it certainly is, but for those further down the food chain it is one of hard grind.
There are likely to be tears of joy and despair over the course of the 72 (36 for the unlucky few) holes, and no shortage of drama in Vilamoura.
The Course: Dom Pedro Victoria Golf Course
The Portugal Masters has been on the DP World Tour schedule since 2007, with Dom Pedro Victoria playing host on each occasion.
Portugal has a rich history of golf, with the temperatures allowing for year-round play in the Algarve.
There are brilliant courses up and down the country, with Dom Pedro Victoria one of the most storied. Designed by Arnold Palmer and opened for play in 2004 after a £16 million investment, it meanders through wetland which are both hazards and the provider of natural irrigation.
At 7,273 yards off the championship tees it is lengthy without being the exclusive plaything of the long bombers.
