The impressive prize fund is the largest for any Pro-Am by some distance. The flagship event, sponsored by CFM Group, will take place over two days on the 11th and 12th July. One hundred teams consisting of three amateurs and one professional per team will compete over 36 holes split between The K Club’s two championship courses, Palmer North and Palmer South, with prizes awarded to the five leading teams after the two-day tournament.

 

Speaking on behalf of The K Club, Conor Russell, Director of Golf said ‘’The K Club are very strong supporters of both the PGA in Ireland and professional golf. On our journey towards hosting larger tournaments at the resort, this is just beginning.’’

 


Conor Dillon, Manager, PGA in Ireland, said The PGA “is delighted to partner with The K Club in staging a Pro-Am of this magnitude, which will no doubt attract the leading PGA Professionals from around the country. This is an exciting time for The K Club and a fitting venue to host such a special event. I would like to thank the CFM Group and The K Club for their continued support of Irish golf."
