What The Pro's Are Saying

"The Players Tour provides a great opportunity to play competitive golf against proven players from both the professional and amateur ranks at first class courses.

With knowledgeable and professional behind the scenes organisation the Tour is already providing strong fields and an excellent spread of the prize purse.

Good luck for the future with what should, on the basis of the first few events, become a strong development tour."

Dave Smith, MEN Open Winner 2007

"The Players Tour is a fabulous concept, the standard of golf is high and the ‘behind the scenes’ even higher.

It’s crucial for the development of the tour to be run smoothly, efficiently and at good venues. With those ideals already at the forefront Jon & Richard will create a great opportunity for us all! Good luck"

Andrew Murray former European Open Champion

"The Players Tour is a superbly organised developmental tour I would recommend to golfers who are looking for fierce competition on quality courses.

Both Jon and Richard know what players are looking for in tournaments and go out of their way to accommodate. From yardage planners to physios and most things in between every thing is done in a friendly and first class manner."

Paul Eales former winner on the European Tour

RIDGEWAY BIRDIE SECURES PLAYOFF WIN AFTER A SCARE AT CONWY

Ian Ridgeway collects his cheque from the Tours Richard Walker

A magnificent birdie at the first play-off hole, the fearsome 17th, secured Ian Ridgeway his first Tour win from Aran Wainwright and Tim Maxwell at the superb Conwy Links.

Ian survived a last hole scare when he lost his tee shot in the gorse at the 18th then saw his bogey put lip out to put him in the play-off. Teeing off last on the 17th after both Aran and Tim had safely hit the fairway Ian struck two pure irons to 6 feet and cooly rolled his putt into the middle of the hole.

Aran had set the early clubhouse pace after a 76 first day when he scorched the back nine in 33 4 under for the only sub 70 round of the event signing for a 69. As many players fell foul of the thick gorse bushes surrounding Conwy's famous finish it seemed for a while as if this might be enough. Finally in the second last group Tim with a 4,3 finish forced a tie. Then as news filtered through that overnight leaders Ian and Barry Taylor who had slipped back from one under overnight had both recoved to stand on the 17th tee at one under it seemed that perhaps 145 would fall short.

Barry was first to succumb as many had before him finding the gorse on the 17th and a bogey at the 18th saw him miss out by a shot. Ian meanwhile having secured a solid par on 17 looked to have the event won in normal time until his lapse on the 18th tee.

One consolation for Barry was his return to the top of the order of merit having dominated the table throughout 2008. It's early days but already he's showing his intent to secure the ISM donated entry fee to this year's Tour School.

In the amateur section it turned out to be a battle of young v old with Syd Hodkinson and Paul Dalby giving tour regulars the '2 Ollies' a scare before Oliver Pantoja snuck in on 158, Syd pipped Olly Smith with his better second round 77 to grab second place, despite playing the last 28 holes with a sprained ankle, as two shots seperated the top 4.

The event was a great success with the Tour highly likely to return for two days in 2010 in Wales Ryder Cup year.
