Irish Examiner teams up with Irish Open

The Irish Examiner newspaper will be the Official Print Media Partner to the Irish Open at Fota Island Resort in Cork (June 19-22).

The media partnership will see the Irish Examiner strengthen their support of the Irish Open with a range of exclusive interviews and stories in the build-up to the event, as well as wide-ranging coverage of the tournament itself.

Irish Examiner Sports Editor Tony Leen said: “The Irish Examiner is very pleased to partner the European Tour as the media driving force behind the Irish Open at Fota Island Resort.

“I believe it is crucial that a newspaper with a passion for sport and an understanding of the importance of this global event to Cork, Munster and beyond partners the Tour in making this a hugely successful occasion.”

European Tour head of tournament media promotion Gordon Simpson said: “The European Tour is delighted to announce the Irish Examiner as our Print Media Partner to the Irish Open.

“Given its geographical position, and indeed prominence in the Munster region, the Examiner was a natural choice as our media partner to this year’s event.

“We believe that the Irish Examiner will enhance the stature of the Irish Open, and we look forward to an outstanding event in Cork this June.”
