From 2 – 5 December 2019, the Confederation of Professional Golf [CPG] Annual Congress and International Team Championship (ITC) will descend upon Portugal’s Algarve region, when Penina Hotel & Golf Resort hosts the events for the first time.

Located on the outskirts of Portimao, 45 minutes from Faro airport and two hours from the country’s capital Lisbon, Penina Hotel & Golf Resort provides an idyllic location to host the series of seminars, presentations and delegate activities that are synonymous with the Annual Congress.

Chief Executive of the CPG, Ian Randell, gave comment on the news: “We are very excited to be returning to Portugal for our Annual Congress and International Team Championship this year.

“Penina’s five-star hotel and golf course leads the way in Portugal for its exceptional service and facilities. We are therefore thrilled to be working with them in delivering what will be another exceptional schedule of educational and competitive opportunities to end 2019.”

Penina’s 18-hole championship golf course, dubbed ‘The Home of Portugal Golf’ will also provide an enticing stage for the ITC. In its 31st year, the tournament pits some of the CPG’s Member Country PGA’s best PGA Professionals against one another over three days of competitive play, in a team-event like no other.

JJW Hotels & Resorts, said: “It is a great honour to host the CPG’s Annual Congress and ITC at Penina Hotel & Golf Resort. Holding events of this scale requires extensive facilities of high quality, so Penina’s offering of championship golf and high-end hospitality means this will undoubtedly be an enjoyable week for the delegates and competitors alike.”

In combination, the Annual Congress and ITC consistently highlight the CPG’s Educational and Tournament schedule every year, and are sure to be another successful version of the events when they returns to Portugal’s Algarve region.
