JERSEY SENIORS CLASSIC ANNOUNCES
RECORD PRIZE FUND
When Sam Torrance and his European Seniors Tour colleagues converge on La Moye Golf Club for the 2007 Jersey Seniors Classic from June 8-10 they will be competing for a share of a tournament record prize fund.
Increased commercial support for the event means that the Seniors Tour professionals will be competing for a purse of £140,000 - 16.6 per cent more than in 2006 – when the 2007 Jersey Seniors Classic is played over 54 holes on the picturesque links at La Moye.
It is the second significant new development following the announcement, made last month, that this year’s tournament would benefit from worldwide TV coverage.
The TV highlights package will showcase the island to golf enthusiasts across the globe and the deal was secured thanks to a powerful partnership between the European Seniors Tour, Geoff Irvine, tournament promoters WSM Sponsorship and The States of Jersey Government, through the Jersey Economic Development Department and Jersey Tourism.
This impressive line-up has now been further strengthened by the addition of European Business Jets, the AIM listed private jets operator, as a Partner Sponsor of this year’s tournament.
