There is a stellar line up at Galgorm Castle this year including Northern Ireland’s very own Paul Cutler who says: “Although this is my first time playing the event at Galgorm I hear nothing but great things from everyone with a real tournament feel from the crowds and the great buzz it feels like a European Tour event which is obviously where I am aiming for”.

Now in its third year visiting the Ballymena venue, the excitement is building amongst all the players.

Danny Nickless, Operations Manager of the PGA EuroPro Tour says: “There is such a buzz at the venue and players often comment on their excitement of the challenge Galgorm Castle offers closely followed by the wonderful Northern Irish hospitality.”

The 54-hole Galgorm event, supported by Ulster Bank, Northern Ireland Tourist Board (NITB), Ballymena Borough Council, Galgorm Resort & Spa, official car sponsor Lexus and official media partner Golf Digest Ireland, gets underway from Wednesday, May 30th to June 1st with official practice and the George Best Invitational Pro-am to take place earlier in the week.
