The pair were reunited following the critical success of Season One in which they visited Paul\u2019s native Ireland and neighbouring Northern Ireland.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter the success of Season One, we couldn\u2019t wait to get back out on the road together,\u201d said Paul. \u201cPortugal is a country close to my heart, so to be able to show off the fantastic array of courses here is a real privilege. This country has been somewhat a second home for me over the years, so being able to follow up Ireland with another destination I hold dear is really very special. We were greeted with clear blue skies and bright sunshine for the duration of our trip, which made filming that much more enjoyable,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The headline sponsor of the second series is One Green Way Residences, a luxury golf residential development that sets the bar for outdoor living at Quinta do Lago, and Asset Manager SPX Capital which has partnered with property developer Green Jacket Partners.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne Green Way Residences is delighted to be involved with the series and we can\u2019t wait to see Paul and Chris play Quinta do Lago when the show is broadcast,\u201d said Daniel Schneider, founder of SPX Capital. \u201cIt is a great opportunity for golfers to see what a spectacular location and experience it is, and we look forward to welcoming visitors from around the world who want to enjoy everything that the Algarve has to offer,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>With additional sponsors, TaylorMade and AVIS on board as well as returning sponsors, Motocaddy and Fairway &amp; Greene, Paul and Chris were fitted out with state-of-the-art clubs, electric trolleys, bags, and apparel, for their Portuguese adventure.<\/p>\n<p>Boasting the greatest density of quality championship courses in Continental Europe, Portugal was an obvious choice for Season Two thanks to its diverse offering of first-class golf courses, from the sun-soaked coastal playground of the Algarve to the more rugged mountainous regions of Porto and the North.<\/p>\n<div id=\"content_link_1243194\" class=\"ct-div-block content-link_wrap\"><a class=\"ct-link content-link_image-wrap\" href=\"https:\/\/golftoday.co.uk\/phil-mickelson-hopes-second-place-at-masters-will-be-a-stepping-stone\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/golftoday.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Masters-Golf-37-150x150.jpg\" class=\"content-link_image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Phil Mickelson\" srcset=\"https:\/\/golftoday.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Masters-Golf-37-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/golftoday.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Masters-Golf-37-60x60.jpg 60w, https:\/\/golftoday.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Masters-Golf-37-250x250.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><div class=\"ct-div-block content-link_content\"><a class=\"ct-link\" href=\"https:\/\/golftoday.co.uk\/phil-mickelson-hopes-second-place-at-masters-will-be-a-stepping-stone\/\"><h5 class=\"ct-headline content-link_title\"><strong>Related:<\/strong> Phil Mickelson hopes second place at Masters will be a \u2018stepping stone\u2019<\/h5><\/a><div class=\"ct-text-block content-link_text\">Five birdies in the last seven holes gave the American a superb final round of 65.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cThere is a reason Portugal is one of the most visited golf destinations in the world,\u201d said Chris Hollins. \u201cIt offers absolutely everything you could want for a memorable trip, and frankly, I never wanted to leave.
