The Gleneagles Hotel to Host New PGA International Pro Am

Dec 25, 2015
Daily

The new Pro-Am tournament for 2016 will take place at The Gleneagles Hotel in Perthsire, Scotland, next summer, offering amateurs from around the world the chance to play on the hotel’s renowned championship golf courses and take home prizes.

The hotel will host the Gleneagles International Pro-Am July 5–8, 2016, across The King’s, Queen’s and PGA Centenary Courses. The event will be open to teams of four, comprising three amateurs and one PGA Professional, and will have a total prize fund of approximately $26,800.

“We’re really excited to announce this new event for the 2016 golfing calendar, which gives players from around the world the opportunity to compete across Gleneagles’ three championship courses,” said Gary Silcock, director of golf, The Gleneagles Hotel. “Competitors will have the chance to play two of James Braid’s Classic Courses — The King’s and Queen’s — as well as the PGA Centenary Course, the venue for 2014’s Ryder Cup Matches. Afterward, they can enjoy some warm Scottish hospitality in one of the UK’s most iconic luxury hotels.”

“We hope to welcome lots of international visitors, who will be able to use Gleneagles’ location in the heart of Scotland as a base to explore the country — from historic attractions, to whisky distilleries and, of course, some great golf courses. The fact that it’s taking place the week before The Open at Troon means it’s great timing to make the trip.”

Entry to the tournament costs about $11,200 for a team of four, and includes four nights’ accommodation per player; drinks reception and welcome dinner; packed lunch on tournament days; four rounds of golf; celebration dinner and prize presentation.

Visit the hotel’s website and fill out a booking form to register.

Set on 850 acres of Perthshire countryside, The Gleneagles Hotel features 232 luxury guestrooms and suites, more than 20 outdoor activities, an award-winning Spa by ESPA and four restaurants just one hour from Edinburgh and Glasgow.
