ONLY A FIVER TO WATCH FRIDAY'S PLAY AT GLENEAGLES

NEWS RELEASE

As the who’s who of world golf has arrived at Gleneagles for this week’s Johnnie Walker Championship, former Ryder Cup Captain and Championship Chairman, Colin Montgomerie, along with his successor, José María Olazábal are both encouraging all golf spectators to head to Perthshire on Friday and take advantage of £5 Friday.

As the venue for the Johnnie Walker Championship and the Host Venue for the 2014 Ryder Cup, The Gleneagles Hotel is one of the strongest supporters of golf in Scotland.  That support is being increased again this year with the continuation of ‘£5 Friday’ during the week of the Johnnie Walker Championship.  Gleneagles will donate all the revenue from on-the-day ticket sales to clubgolf – Scotland’s junior golf development programme.

Colin Montgomerie said: “It’s great to see that for the second year in a row, the Johnnie Walker Championship is giving fans the chance to watch a full day of golf here at Gleneagles for just five pounds. It’s not only a fantastic opportunity for Scottish golf spectators but it also aids the growth of the junior game in this country, the ‘Home of Golf’. I would encourage all golf fans to come down and watch the action for unfold.”
