Tourism Ireland is attending the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth in south-east England this week – promoting our world-class golf to the many golf enthusiasts attending. Four golf and tourism companies from the island of Ireland are joining Tourism Ireland at this important event in the golfing calendar.
One of the DP World Tour’s biggest golf competitions, the BMW PGA Championship attracts top players, thousands of spectators and international journalists each year – providing a fantastic platform to showcase our superb golf. Tourism Ireland is reminding golfers that The Open returns to Royal Portrush in 2025 and that Adare Manor will host the Ryder Cup in 2027.
Julie Wakley, Tourism Ireland’s Head of Great Britain, said: “Our presence at this year’s BMW PGA Championship is an excellent opportunity to inspire golfers to choose the island of Ireland for their next holiday. We’re reminding them that Ireland offers some of the very best golf in the world, as well as spectacular scenery and fantastic experiences. We’re also taking every opportunity to highlight the fact that The Open will return to Royal Portrush in 2025 and that Adare Manor will host the Ryder Cup in 2027. Tourism Ireland will be pulling out all the stops once again to leverage the tourism potential of these prestigious sporting events, in Great Britain and in our other important golf markets.”
