JP didn’t push it, but Tiger’s still on Adare card

THE man behind the JP McManus golf classic in Adare yesterday gave a strong indication that Tiger Woods will honour his commitment to play at the event in July.

To date, the tournament, held every five years, has raised a staggering €55 million for charities and health facilities in the Limerick area.

Speaking after a civic reception in Limerick City Hall to mark the success of his horse, Don’t Push It, in the Aintree Grand National, McManus said: “I asked or requested, or told, Tiger Woods 18 months ago about the tournament and he said he’d be there and I haven’t heard differently. So, you know, I take it he’ll be there.”
