TOMATIN SINGLE MALT 54-HOLE PRO-AM

Press Release from the PGA in Scotland

The first three day Pro-Am to be staged as part of the Tartan Tour schedule for almost a decade is less than two months away, and there are only a handful of spaces available for teams still wishing to enter.

Sponsored by the Tomatin Distillery, the event will be held over three of Scotland’s top courses on the 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd of October  – Castle Stuart, host venue of the 2012 AAM Scottish Open, Nairn, which staged the 2012 Curtis Cup and Royal Dornoch which was the scene of the 2012 Scottish Amateur Championship – and will follow the format of the Dunhill Cup with teams spread across the three courses on each of the three days.

Entry for a team of three Amateurs and a Professional is £1,700 (+VAT), which includes a round at each of the three venues with a Gala Dinner at the conclusion of the event.  With around £60,000 of prizes and prize-money on offer, the Tomatin Three Day Pro-Am has the biggest purse of any golf event in the UK outside of the European, Challenge or EuroPro Tours. 

Remaining spaces will be allocated on a “first come, first serve basis”.  Amateur teams may enter without a Professional, and they will be teamed with one of the leading players from the PGA in Scotland Order of Merit.  Anyone interested should contact  fcromarty@castlestuartgolf.com  or see  www.castlestuartgolf.com/events-2012  for more details.

Fraser Cromarty, the Sales and Marketing Director at Castle Stuart commented. “I’m absolutely delighted, but not surprised at the uptake. When you look at what’s on offer it represents tremendous value and while the majority of the teams are from Scotland, we’ve got players coming from all over the world. Having the backing of Tomatin Single Malt has taken the event to an even higher level than we envisaged when we floated the idea, and hopefully this will grow and grow in the future”
