Irish star amateur Jack Hume turns pro
NEWS RELEASE
Jack
Hume has ended his impressive amateur career to turn professional at
this week’s Alfred Dunhill Links Championship and sign for International
Sports Management.
The
22-year-old Irishman finishes his amateur days at number seven in the
World Amateur Golf Rankings after an outstanding year that saw him win
the South African Stroke Play (pictured) and the European Nations Cup and finish
runner-up in the Irish
Amateur.
Hume
contributed one-and-a-half points in Great Britain and Ireland’s Walker
Cup victory against the United States at Royal Lytham and St Annes in
September last year.
He
also helped Ireland to their best-ever finish at the World Amateur
Championship as they picked up a medal for the first time in their
history with bronze in Cancun last month.
After
this week’s tournament in Scotland, Hume hopes to play on the Challenge
Tour before European Tour Qualifying School Stage Two.
He
said: “It’s been a great year but I want to move to the next level and I
can’t wait to turn professional. I’m really looking forward to the
weeks and months ahead and testing myself.
“Joining
ISM is a big part of it. They’ve helped a lot of players from the very
start of their careers and that’s obviously a path I’m hoping to
follow.”
ISM
is a leading sports management company based in the United Kingdom that
has guided the careers of former world number one Lee Westwood, Masters
champion Danny Willett, former Open champion Louis
Oosthuizen, former Open champion and recent Ryder Cup captain Darren Clarke, as well as Ryder Cup star Matt Fitzpatrick.
Chief
Executive Officer Chubby Chandler said: “We’ve monitored Jack for a
long, long time and he’s a player with a huge amount of potential.
“He’s
got all of the ingredients and we’re excited about doing what we can to
help him be the best he can be and really flourish.”
