The inaugural World Masters Golf Championship has
been launched with a call to all amateur golfers over 50 years of age to take
up this unique opportunity to play on the iconic links of Scotland – the Home
of Golf.
The World Masters Golf Championship provides the
opportunity to play competitive golf on outstanding courses in a fun, social
environment. The event is open to all
golfers with an official handicap who are over 50 years of age as at 17 September,
2017.
The Championship will be staged over four days from
18 to 21 September 2017, on some of the best courses in the world. Follow in the footsteps of legends and take
your opportunity to play some of the great courses of Scotland, included
amongst them Royal Troon, Prestwick and Dundonald.
The World Masters Golf Championship is the
brainchild of Hamish Grey (formerly CEO of Scottish Golf) and Andy Salmon
(formerly CEO of the Ladies’ Golf Union and Deputy CEO of Scottish Golf), who
have over 50 years of experience in sport and golf event management between
them.
‘The idea is to stage an annual celebration of golf
with a top quality championship for club-level amateur golfers here at the Home
of Golf - playing competitive golf in a fun, social environment on some of the
world’s leading golf courses,’ said Grey.
The format is individual stableford with prize categories
based on handicap and age - along with the overall prize and title of World
Masters Golf Champion. Staged over four
days there are two packages on offer –
Flight
one:
Play Prestwick, laid out by Old Tom Morris, who was
the Club’s Professional, the original home of the Open Championship which has
been staged a total of 24 times on the links at Prestwick;
Western Gailes, a stunning links course that has
hosted Open qualifying and major amateur events such as the European Team
Championships featuring a young Rory McIlroy, amongst others; and
Glasgow Gailes, another classic links that hosts
Open Qualifying and many major amateur events – where Colin Montgomerie
qualified for the 2016 Open staged at nearby Royal Troon.
Flight
two:
Play Dundonald, the links course of Loch Lomond Golf
Club, Dundonald hosted the last two editions of the Aberdeen Asset Management
Scottish Ladies’ Open and two months prior to the World Masters Golf
Championship will host the 2017 Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open
Championship;
Kilmarnock (Barassie), boasting 27 holes of pure
links fun, Kilmarnock (Barassie) has also hosted Open Qualifying as well as
numerous Scottish amateur tournaments and the European Youths Team
Championship; and
Ayr Belleisle, a James Braid designed gem that in
the true traditions of Scottish golf is a public course owned by the local
authority.
Limited to 240 entrants, the top 120 participants
after three rounds will qualify to play the nine-time Open Championship venue, Royal
Troon, and follow in the footsteps of legends such as 2016 Open Champion Henrik
Stenson. The remaining 120 participants will
have the opportunity to play the excellent Glasgow Gailes.
This celebration of golf will be started with a
welcome reception on Sunday 17 September and conclude with a gala dinner on the
evening of 21 September.
Competitors will have the opportunity to explore the
great beauty and history of Scotland around the World Masters Golf Championship
– enjoying great Scottish hospitality and the event of a lifetime.
