This event marked the first time the World Golf Awards were hosted by Madeira. It is renowned that Madeira has the best conditions for golfing. The Ministry for Tourism of Portugal believes that growth in the golf industry is due to more international tourists who visit the country to play golf. Similarly, the golf events in Portugal bring more opportunities for tourism within the country. The tourism industry of Portugal has stated:

[Success in golf] can be attributed to the integrated tourist experience, good air, and land accessibility, an exceptional welcome, high-quality sports, and hotel infrastructures that cater to different profiles of golfers, and an excellent quality/price ratio.
