The 2019 Annual Congress and International Team Championship takes place at Penina Hotel & Golf Resort from 2 – 5 December 2019.
The ITC tournament runs alongside the Association’s Annual Congress in which teams from across the Confederation of Professional Golf’s Member Countries battle it out over 54 holes on the Championship Course at Penina, dubbed ‘The Home of Portugal Golf’, with the best two individual scores each day from the team of three counting towards the overall team score.
The tournament is split into the main Championship field and a secondary event in which small and emerging Member PGAs compete for the ITC Shield.

The Sir Henry Cotton Championship Course
The first 18-hole course to be built in the Algarve, the Sir Henry Cotton Championship Course has played home to the Portuguese Open on ten occasions… and is regarded by many as the finest course in the Algarve and beyond.
Built and laid out by the three time British Open Champion, Sir Henry Cotton, the course is as challenging as it is satisfying… and as unforgiving as it is beautiful.
Flanked by streams, water hazards and precarious ditches, the course boasts an array of subtle slopes and raised greens… well known for catching out even the most careful of golfers.
