JP McManus has spoken of his disappointment at the postponement of his charity fundraising Pro-Am, which was set to take place this summer at Adare Manor.

The tournament, which was a complete sell-out, had lined up golfing royalty including Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Phil Mickelson, Dustin Jackson, Brooks Kopeka, Jon Rahm, and Shane Lowry for the July 6 and 7 event at the Co. Limerick venue with proceeds benefitting charitable organisations in the Mid-West.

The postponement of the €7.87m tournament came via an announcement from the European Tour on Monday afternoon and was met with disappointment but complete understanding by this year’s Irish Open host Graeme McDowell.
