After much discussion, rhetoric and bamboozlement and with a great deal of help from Algarve Golf and the mighty Richard Ballantine the 2024 Portugal Tee times are finally nailed.

“More bloody night golf , again !!!  I don’t believe it  ! ” Said Sir Michael King at todays press conference. “What is the matter with starting the day early and getting the bloody golf out of the way ???”

Mk Seve was strangely not available for comment but Big K Shorrocks raised a glass in approval from his Bridlington mansion.

Hoppy Dearsley (Universal Events Global Director) welcomed the news. “Perfect , this is what we want !!!”

“Contract negotiations will now start with the players and their agents around the tricky areas of Appearance Money and Sponsorship Fees . Always difficult and delicate !”
