Trust puts golfers on course for success

THE Team Ireland Golf Trust have announced funding of over a quarter of a million euro for 29 Irish golfers.

The Trust, administered by the Irish Sport Council, was established in 1999 with the aim of increasing the presence of Irish golf professionals on the international tours.

“The value of the Team Ireland Golf Trust is becoming more apparent with each year. Aspiring tour professionals need consistent, long-term support. We did not expect big returns in the early days but the faith of all the contributors is now being repaid with outstanding performances,” said Padraig Ó hUiginn, Trust chairman.
