<h4 style="text-align: center;"><strong>CPG FESTIVAL OF GOLF</strong><br />
<strong>PORTO CARRAS GRAND RESORT, GREECE</strong><br />
<strong>13 &#8211; 16 OCTOBER 2026</strong></h4>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #9f8500;">&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The Confederation of Professional Golf (CPG) has announced that the <span style="color: #9f8500;"><a style="color: #9f8500;" href="https://cp.golf/festival">2026 CPG Festival of Golf</a></span> will return to <span style="color: #9f8500;"><a style="color: #9f8500;" href="https://cp.golf/3XWxuDs">Porto Carras Grand Resort</a></span> in Greece from 13–16 October, uniting Member Countries PGA Members, and industry partners for a week that blends competition, collaboration and the continued development of the professional game.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As one of the standout moments in the CPG calendar, the Festival of Golf brings together Member Countries, PGA Members and industry partners from across the global game for a week of connection, collaboration and shared learning.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Blending a conference-style programme with on-course competition, the event features the 37th edition of the historic CPG International Team Championship [ITC], which continues with its refined format aimed at elevating both the competitive edge and the overall team experience with ITC competitors playing alongside Festival delegates and partners.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">At its heart, the Festival of Golf is about bringing together the CPG membership to strengthen the community, connect leaders who share the same challenges and ambitions, to uncover new opportunities to strengthen and grow their organisations, learn from each other and external experts, and to leave with practical ideas and resources that can be actioned straight away.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">All of this is wrapped into a genuinely memorable experience &#8211; from engaging sessions and meaningful conversations to time on the course and the chance to enjoy a world-class setting alongside peers from across the global game.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Alongside the Championship, the wider festival schedule will continue to offer an engaging and inclusive experience for attendees. Plans are in place to introduce new elements to the programme, including the addition of a coaching and education-focused component, aimed at delivering practical insight and added value for PGA Members.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">“We are delighted to welcome the CPG Festival of Golf back to Porto Carras Grand Resort for a second consecutive year, further strengthening our partnership and shared vision for the future of golf in the region,” said Porto Carras Grand Resort CEO, <strong>Filoklis Kotsifis</strong>.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">“We look forward to welcoming golfers, partners, and companies from across the globe, and to delivering an event that reflects the quality, ambition and unique character of Porto Carras.”</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Porto Carras Grand Resort provides the perfect host venue, with significant ongoing investment into its golf facilities and a clear ambition to establish itself as a recognised international golf destination. This vision aligns closely with CPG’s commitment to supporting the growth of golf in developing regions and creating meaningful opportunities for its network, and in particular the long-term and enduring relationship with the PGA of Greece and its Members.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The event will be delivered in collaboration with regional stakeholders, including the <strong>PGA of Greece</strong>, and longstanding commercial partner <strong>AEGEAN Airlines</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><strong>Member Countries are encouraged to register representatives and teams, with invitations being sent to all Member Countries directly shortly.</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The CPG Festival of Golf reflects the organisation’s CORE pillars of Communities, Opportunities, Resources and Experiences, providing a platform for Member Countries and individuals to connect, learn, and contribute to the continued development of their organisations, their people, and the game.</p>
