ISPS HANDA to become title sponsor of World Cup of Golf 2013

The International Federation of PGA Tours has announced International Sports Promotion Society (ISPS) as the new title sponsor for the ISPS HANDA World Cup of Golf, to be played at The Royal Melbourne Golf Club from November 21-24, 2013.

 

ISPS has previously shown its commitment to professional golf through its title sponsorship of the Wales Open on The European Tour and the PGA Seniors Championship on the European Seniors Tour. 

 

The ISPS HANDA World Cup of Golf will showcase Victoria to approximately 800 million homes in more than 200 countries and territories as the best players in the world from more than 30 nations will represent their countries at Royal Melbourne.

 

“ISPS is delighted to become title sponsor of this exciting major global event,” said ISPS Founder and Chairman, Dr. Haruhisa Handa.

 

“At ISPS, we believe in the ‘power of sport’, its unique ability to create hope, to breakdown educational and cultural barriers, and to inspire people in a way that very little else does. For this reason, ISPS has a long history of supporting golf globally with a specific commitment to raising the profile of blind and disabled golf.

 

“Our ultimate mission is for golf to become a Paralympic sport. There is a great synergy with the World Cup of Golf embracing the same format and eligibility when golf returns to the Olympic programme in Rio 2016.”

 

Dr. Handa established the International Blind Golf Association (IBGA) in 1998
