We have created the opportunity for women to perform on the same stage as men and compete for the same prize fund. I am delighted so many women professionals from around the world have already seized the opportunity to compete in the new World Invitational. We wanted to create something different, something unique, and with the help of ISPS HANDA we’ve achieved that through the World Invitational. Our company ethos is simple; we are trying to grow the game and to look out for the next generation of player. We achieved that in the men’s game with the hugely successful NI Open and now we have provided a wonderful opportunity for women professionals to compete alongside the men. With such an exciting new format and a packed schedule of events planned for tournament week, including live music acts and more, we continue to help grow the game and attract new audiences. I’ve said it before, but I actually think this is a bigger day for European golf than we think.
