The World Corporate Golf Challenge (WCGC) Portugal 2025, recognised as the world’s leading corporate golf tournament, is about to take place on Madeira Island. This event, which combines sport and business networking, will take place on 5 April at the Santo da Serra Golf Club, a renowned course that has previously hosted European Tour competitions.
The Madeira qualifier is the first of three qualifying tournaments that precede the national final. Due to adverse weather conditions, the qualifier at Quinta do Peru Golf Course in Sesimbra will be held on April 29th and the third qualifier is scheduled for May 31st at Axis Golfe in Ponte de Lima. The winners in these qualifiers will secure a place in the national final, scheduled for June 14th at the Bom Sucesso Resort in Óbidos. The winners of this final will have the honour of representing Portugal in the WCGC World Final, which this year will be held in Shanghai, China, next October.
