The HotelPlanner Tour travelled to Portugal for the Open de Portugal at Royal Óbidos last week, with an increased prize fund to €300,000— which took place from 11-14 September.
Event 25 of 29 on the 2025 Road to Mallorca was making its sixth appearance at Royal Óbidos.
20 winners from the 2025 HotelPlanner Tour season teed it up in Portugal: Hugo Townsend; Anders Emil Ejlersen; Filippo Celli; David Law; Oihan Guillamoundeguy; Daniel Young; JC Ritchie; Maximilian Steinlechner; David Horsey; James Morrison; Palmer Jackson; Felix Mory; Rocco Repetto Taylor; Jonathan Goth-Rasmussen; Clement Charmasson; Renato Paratore; Quim Vidal; Joshua Berry; Wilco Nienaber; and Jamie Rutherford — all vying for a share of the €300,000 prize fund.
The Open de Portugal boasts a storied history in European Golf, having first been staged over 70 years ago. It became part of the European Tour schedule in 1973 and remained a fixture until 2010.
The tournament returned to the schedule in 2017 as a dual-ranked event with the HotelPlanner Tour, taking place at Morgado Golf & Country Club, and has remained on the Road to Mallorca schedule since then, with Royal Óbidos taking over as the venue in 2020.
Situated in dunes by the Atlantic Ocean, the golf course at Royal Óbidos opened in 2012 after being designed by golfing legend Seve Ballesteros, who took advantage of the land’s natural undulation to subtly blend in the layout with its surroundings.
The 7,200-yard course demands length off the tee and with water hazards coming into play on many holes through an intricate system of lakes and streams, precision is crucial – especially on approach shots into undulating greens, many of which are surrounded by water.
JC Ritchie birdied his final three holes to seal a second HotelPlanner Tour win of 2025 at the Open de Portugal at Royal Óbidos.
