Tournament organisers have confirmed that 15-time Major champion Tiger Woods is to play in this year’s JP McManus Pro-Am, which is due to be held at Adare Manor in Ireland from July 4-5.
Woods, who has 82 PGA Tour wins and has led the world rankings for a record total of 683 weeks in his career, will join a world class field of players including Rory McIlroy, Collin Morikawa, Jon Rahm, Justin Thomas, Leona Maguire, Dustin Johnson and Bryson DeChambeau, along with a host of celebrities, including Mark Wahlberg, Niall Horan and many more.
Coming off the back of an unforgettable return to competitive golf at last weekend’s Masters, this will be Woods’ fourth appearance at the fund-raising event which supports charitable organisations throughout the Mid-West of Ireland.
Tournament host JP McManus expressed his delight at the news: “Tiger has been a great friend and avid supporter of the Pro-Am for a very long time and we are absolutely thrilled he has committed to play once again in the tournament. His presence at Adare Manor will undoubtedly bring huge excitement to the thousands of spectators and we are very grateful to him for giving up his free time to be with us. We’d also like to sincerely thank all our players, the DP World Tour, volunteers, and ticket cap holders for their continued support of the event as we endeavour to raise vital funds for charities in the region.”
Organisers have also announced a ticket tender for the sold-out event, with 100 tickets on offer at a minimum of €250 per ticket.
Anybody wishing to submit a bid for a ticket, or a number of tickets, is being asked to email [email protected] with their offer, full name and phone number. The highest bids will each receive the opportunity to purchase the tickets at the offer price they submitted.
The internationally recognised Pro-Am has helped raise over €140 million for charitable organisations since its inception in 1990 and attracts many of the world’s top players and celebrities to participate at the Tom Fazio-redesigned course. All funds raised are distributed in their entirety to the beneficiaries.
