OUR EVENTS
PAUL LAWRIE INVITATIONAL
The Paul Lawrie Invitational presented by Farmfoods was staged at Carnoustie in 2022. A shotgun Pro-Am, involving one Tour Pro and three amateur guests per team. Supporting the Paul Lawrie Foundation (the inaugural event at Gleneagles in 2019 raised funds for Doddie Weir’s MN’5Doddie charity and The Beatson Cancer Charity – in excess of £50k was raised in support of the nominated charities), it will move to Newmachar Golf Club in October 2023.
SCOTTISH PAR 3 CHAMPIONSHIP BY FARMFOODS
The seventh edition of the Scottish Par 3 Championship over the Paul Lawrie Golf Centre’s Championship Devenick Course took place in July and we were delighted that Farmfoods continued as our title sponsor. Farmfoods is the longstanding supporter of the British Par 3 Championships and with this sponsorship they are continuing their investment in the sport. Kieran Cantley claimed the title in 2022 following in the footsteps of Craig Lawrie (2021) John Henry (2020), Sean Lawrie (2019), David Dixon (2018), Louis Gaughan (2017) and, event host, Paul Lawrie (2015).
TARTAN PRO TOUR
An initial series of six 36-hole events held around the country in 2020, saw golfers from DP World Tour, LET, Challenge Tour, LET Access and various others coming together to vie for the prizefunds on offer whilst most other Pro Golf Tours halted their activity because of Covid. 2021 and 2022 saw the schedule increase to 12 events, providing an extension to the playing season for Professionals seeking progression onto the highest-ranking Tours. In 2023, Tartan Pro Tour has been designated an Official Feeder Tour to the European Challenge Tour. Events have increased to 54-holes (with a cut after 36 holes) and will be played at some of Scotland’s top venues between 1st May and 30th September, providing a direct pathway onto Challenge Tour for the Order of Merit winner.
FARMFOODS SCOTTISH CHALLENGE SUPPORTED BY THE R&A
After a three year absence, 5Star Sports Agency revived the Scottish Challenge with the backing of Farmfoods. This important event within the development pathway provides aspiring players with the platform to progress onto the DP World Tour stage.
Newmachar’s Hawkshill Championship course will again be the host venue for the event (which returns in 2023 from the 10th to 13th August).
Spaniard, Javier Sainz (pictured) captured the title in the last edition, following-on from 5Star client, David Law’s victory in 2018.
Players from nations across Europe and further afield will descend on Aberdeen in August to vie for the Farmfoods Scottish Challenge title.
