The Glorious Playground's Biggest Celebration Of Competitive Summer Golf


Gleneagles


International Pro-Am


A


n iconic country estate set
beneath the beautiful Ochil Hills,
The Gleneagles Hotel has been
a luxury destination for nearly a century,
and now the world-famous Scottish
hotel and sporting estate is set for a
summer celebration of golf; as its annual
International Pro-Am event, carrying a prize
fund of $51,000 and staged the week after
The Open at Royal Portrush, attracts its
largest number of entries to date.


The almost sold-out event mixes luxury
hospitality, world-class service and five-
star competitive golf across its three Top
100-ranked championship courses, The
King's and The Queen's, both designed
by renowned champion golfer and
architect James Braid, and The PGA
Centenary Course, host venue for the
2019 Solheim Cup in September.
The four-day festival of golf held from
23rd to 26th July, will see 24 teams,

comprising three amateurs and a Pro,
play for a prize fund that has increased
by 60% from 2018, with the winning
PGA Professional receiving $14,000.
The International Pro-Am is a unique
tournament in that it blends exceptional
golf with luxury accommodation, and
some of Scotland's finest food and
beverage experiences.
"This year's VIP golfing guests will
enjoy a very special International Pro-Am,"
