Big game hunter JP snares Tiger

JP McMANUS has often spoken about the importance of fishing for visitors to this country, but it’s the Limerick businessman who’s netted the big one, with yesterday’s confirmation from Tiger Woods that the biggest name in golf is good to go for the JP McManus Invitational Pro-Am on July 5-6.

The list of 54 tour pros is literally a roster any pro tour would die for, with 12 of the game’s top 15 ranked players committed to playing in Adare Manor over two days next month.

“I am very happy to be joining this outstanding field,” Woods said. “Like my own foundation, I understand the importance and necessity of raising funds to help deserving individuals. This tournament does just that.”
