One tournament, two distinct winners
The II Lisbon Masters concluded on 23 October 2026 at Lisbon Sports Club in Belas, Sintra, Portugal, closing the 2026 Timestamp Golf Tour, the domestic professional series sanctioned by the Portuguese Golf Federation (Federação Portuguesa de Golfe, FPG) and PGA Portugal. The overall winner was João Miguel Pereira, an amateur representing Aroeira; Ricardo Santos claimed the separate professional title and first-place professional prize.
Pereira matches the course record
The competition comprised 36 holes on the par-69 Lisbon Sports Club course. Pereira opened with 68 (−1), leaving him third after the first round, then produced an outstanding 63 (−6) on Friday. His 63 equalled the course record set by Tomás Melo Gouveia at the 2025 event. With rounds of 68 and 63, Pereira finished on 131 (−7), three strokes clear of the nearest challengers.
It was another significant result for Pereira after his recent win in the Taça da Federação BPI. The FPG reported that he was only the second amateur to win a Timestamp Golf Tour event outright in 2026, after Bernardo Pinheiro's victory at the Solverde Players Championship in July.
The professional playoff was a different competition
Three players were tied for second in the overall standings on 134 (−4): professionals Ricardo Santos (66–68) and Pedro Almeida (68–66), and fellow Aroeira amateur Afonso Rui Oliveira (65–69). As an amateur, overall champion Pereira was not competing for the professional winner's cheque. Santos and Almeida therefore contested a playoff for the professional title, rather than for the overall tournament victory.
Santos won on the first extra hole, the par-4 18th, with a par, securing the €2,000 professional winner's prize from the event's total €10,000 prize fund. It is important not to describe both Pereira and Santos as joint overall champions: Pereira won the open leaderboard, while Santos won the professional category.
Pedro Figueiredo finished fifth overall at 136 (−2). Defending champion Tomás Melo Gouveia tied ninth on 143 (+5).
Lencart ends the season as money-list leader
A third distinction belonged to Pedro Lencart, who finished first in the 2026 Timestamp Golf Tour money ranking. His lead had already been mathematically secured before the Lisbon Masters: he had earned €10,170, compared with €6,343 for second-placed Vasco Alves, with only €2,000 available to the winning professional in Belas.
The season finale highlighted the depth of Portugal's domestic game, bringing established professionals, players with European-tour experience and leading amateurs onto the same course. It also underlined the difference between winning the overall leaderboard, claiming a professional prize and topping a season-long money list.
