Overview of the Portugal Swing
The Portugal Swing is a two-leg tournament series that marks the beginning of the 2025 G4D season. The first event takes place on January 13 at Pestana Vale da Pinta, followed by a second tournament on January 17 at Pestana Gramacho. These events are designed to foster a competitive yet inclusive atmosphere, welcoming golfers with various disabilities from around the world.
The strong field includes notable players such as Daphne van Houten from the Netherlands and Rasmus Lia from Sweden, both of whom have made significant marks in the G4D circuit.
The G4D tournaments are structured to encourage participation from golfers with different impairments. The three divisions—Gross, Net, and Stableford—allow players to compete on a level playing field, regardless of their physical, neurological, sensory, or intellectual challenges. This inclusive approach is a hallmark of EDGA tournaments, which aim to make golf accessible to everyone..
