No Tiger but some big names on way to Adare

FEMALE golf fans will still be queuing up to catch a glimpse of celebrity golfers at next year’s JP McManus Invitational Pro-Am in Co Limerick – despite the likely absence of world No1 Tiger Woods.

The charity golf tournament has confirmed Hollywood stars Hugh Grant and American actor Kyle MacLachlan for next year’s event, but it now appears unlikely that Woods, who remains registered for the event, will take to the greens at Adare Manor on the July 5 and 6 next year.

Organisers of the 36-hole charity event have also announced that triple major winner Ernie Els and world ranked number six Jim Furyk have also agreed to tee off at Adare Manor.
