For the second year in a row, the Portugal Masters raised over €20,000 for the European Disabled Golf Association (EDGA), an international non-profit organisation for golfers with disabilities.
This year the total amount raised at the European Tour tournament, held at the Victoria Golf Course in Vilamoura between September 21-24, was nearly €25,000. The money was donated both by organisers and the spectators.
Filipe Silva from Turismo de Portugal said the initiative “combines perfectly with everything Portugal has done to improve the infrastructures for disabled people who decided to spend their holiday in the country”.
EDGA supports a wide range of projects and associations in Portugal, including an association for the blind and weak sighted, an association which gives vocational training to individuals who have mental disabilities and a school for children with special needs.
