NEWS RELEASE FROM PGAs OF EUROPE

Major Champions Darren Clarke and John Daly have been confirmed to compete in the 2013 Beko Classic, which will take place at Gloria Golf Club in southern Turkey from November 21^st to 23^rd.

A new challenge awaits the players at Gloria GC, where each will be playing in their second Beko Classic, with Daly having first played in 2010, and Clarke in 2012, of which both tournaments took place at Antalya Golf Club.

2011 Open Champion Clarke will be coming off the back of two US PGA Tour appearances, at the McGladrey Classic in Georgia and the OHL Classic in Mexico, and will be looking to better his tied-12th performance in last year’s tournament.

The five-time Ryder Cup player and two-time non-playing Vice Captain gained a five year exemption from the US PGA Tour and is looking to play the required number of tournaments in the US to remain a member, and will make a return in the new year for the AT and T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in February.

Daly, the colourful winner of the 1991 US PGA Championship and 1995 Open Championship, makes a return to the Beko Classic after his 15th place in 2010 and will again bring his huge hitting prowess and adventurous attitude to the 54-hole Pro-Am format tournament.

The 2013 Beko Classic is the 12th PGAs of Europe-sanctioned edition making it the longest running Pro-Am in the Association’s calendar.
