Taking place from August 9-12, the British Par 3 Championship is a long-standing event on the professional golfing calendar, having started out life as The British Professional Short Course Championship in 1933, when it was held in Torquay.
This year’s renewal is once again being hosted by dual major champion Tony Jacklin, while he will be joined by a long list of golfing greats, including 1999 Open champion Paul Lawrie, 1992 Masters winner Ian Woosnam and three-time European Tour winner Peter Baker, who also won the Par 3 Championship in 1998.
Among the celebrities on duty will be former Strictly judge Len Goodman, ex-footballer Matt Le Tissier, singer Brian McFadden, former Olympic athlete Derek Redmond and many more.
Last year’s tournament was won by Andrew Marshall, a two-time PGA EuroPro Tour winner, who scooped the €50,000 first prize with a score of 101 (-7) for 36 holes.
