After six qualifying events the teams for Scotland, England & Wales and Ireland have been finalised and 24 Partners have their names on the team sheet for the event that will be held at Fairmont St Andrews in September.
The stunning resort located in St Andrews encapsulates luxury, elegance and truly breathtaking surroundings nestled amongst the ‘Home of Golf’.
Held in association with Callaway, Callaway Apparel and TravisMathew, the Partnership Trophy sees teams representing the four nations of TGI Golf take on each other in a Home Internationals style event to win fantastic prizes from the sponsors and enjoy great team camaraderie.
This will be the seventh contest and defending champions Ireland will be looking to their Captain Peter Smyth to lead them to their fifth victory while England & Wales and Scotland, under the captaincies of Chris Taylor and Ricky Gray respectively, with one win apiece, will be keen to secure a second victory.
Adele McLean, TGI Golf Group Services Director, said: ""The Partnership Trophy is an ever-popular event among TGI Partners and brings out the competitive streak of all involved as they represent their home nations and enjoy the camaraderie of a team event that they don’t usually have the opportunity to play in together.
"Big thank you to our sponsors Callaway, Callaway Apparel and TravisMathew for their continued support."
Greg Pearse, Callaway Golf Europe Commercial Director, added: “We’re incredibly proud to be supporting the TGI Partnership Trophy once again. The quality of golf, the level of competition, but also the camaraderie between the Partners is always special. Being in St Andrews this year makes it even more special and I know I speak on behalf of everyone at Callaway when I say this is one of the highlights of our year."
