What is it?

The JP McManus Pro-Am (a sporting event where both professional career athletes and amateurs compete) is a charity fundraiser that started in 1990 at Limerick Golf Club, with the aim of raising much-needed funds for charities and organisations in the Mid-West region. The event, which moved to Adare Manor in 2005, has traditionally taken place every five years, however, due to Covid-19, this week’s event is the first to take place since 2010.
