Prostate Cancer UK title sponsor for Scottish 

Senior Open at Archerfield Links (Aug 27-29)

NEWS RELEASE

The European Senior Tour and Prostate Cancer UK have agreed a ground-breaking initiative for the charity to become the new title sponsor of the Scottish Senior Open.

In an innovative move, the charity will put its name to this well-established event on the Senior Tour, with the primary aim of the partnership to raise money for the charity and to increase awareness of prostate cancer amongst golfers at the Prostate Cancer UK Scottish Senior Open, which takes place at Archerfield Links Golf Club, from August 27-29

More than 40,000 men in the UK, including 2,900 in Scotland, are diagnosed with prostate cancer each year, making it the most common type of cancer among men.

Men over the age of 50 are more at risk of developing prostate cancer - the same age that players become eligible to join the Senior Tour, making the association a natural one for both parties.
