The English have been extremely successful at the Portugal Masters and the trend is expected to continue in the 2016 edition as well.

Europe is quite famous for its golf tournaments and it is a huge surprise that Portugal has not had its major competition for a number of years. Portugal has been having its own top golf tournament only since 2007. The Portugal Masters is clearly the highest and most prestigious golf tournament in Portugal. Offering a prize money of €3 million, it also takes its place as one of the richest in the European Tour events. This prize money has attracted a lot of top talent in recent years and it has also led to the rise of golf betting tips surrounding the Portugal Masters.

Key Details

Home nationalities being more dominant is a common theme occurring regularly at the European Tour. However, the Portugal Masters is a bit different since English golfers have dominated the event since its inception and this makes it especially easier in terms of golf odds.

Steve Webster, Lee Westwood, Tom Lewis, David Lynn, and Andy Sullivan are the five English golfers to have won the title in the last nine years. Sullivan created a record of the highest margin of victory in the 2015 edition. He comes into the 2016 version as the defending champion and will be one of the favourites in the Portugal Masters 2016 betting tips.

Oceânico Victoria Golf Course plays host to the tournament and it is situated in Vilamoura, Portugal. Designed by former American golfer Arnold Palmer, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of sport, the Oceânico Victoria Golf Course is a fitting location for such an event. The prestigious nature of the tournament is quite visible from the plenty of golf odds, which once again tend to back Englishmen for the event. There is a good chance, however, of British players like Rory McIlroy ending up as a champion.

Within a year of its opening in 2004, Oceânico Victoria Golf Course went on to host the World Cup of Golf in 2005. It is not surprising that a brilliant course like Oceânico Victoria Golf Course plays a major role in determining golf betting odds for this tournament. The length off the tee was seen as an important factor in determining success at the Portugal Masters.

Latest golf betting tips are largely based on the history. Since the Portugal Masters has a limited history – in comparison with the other European Tour events, it is quite feasible that ordinary punters will struggle without the assistance of such tips.
