What The Pro's Are Saying
"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
"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

DYKES EDGES OUT BELT IN PLAYOFF
First round co-leader Tim Dykes from Wrexham saw off the challenge of Yorkshire's inform Alex Belt on the second play-off hole after both returned 8 under totals at a cool and breezy Leasowe.
It had all looked very different on a calm first day after the early morning rain passed through. Dykes, delaying his Challenge tour campaign until mid May in France, was first to take advantage with a seven birdie return 65 the only blemish being a 5 on the 467yard 10th. Despite many players making a run at him he remained alone at the top until Paul Dwyer (Clitheroe) produced an immaculate 6 birdie return to share the lead at six under.
The two enjoyed a two shot lead from Conwy winner Ian Ridgway, Alex Belt and new pro Tom Murray, son of the former European Open Champion Andrew Murray, on 67. Four more players were on 3 under including West Lancs winner Danny Belch and Worsley's John Cheetham who has been in good form in the winter months.
The second day saw a change in the conditions. A much cooler breeze from a different direction suggested a more difficult day for scoring. The strength of the wind was soon evidenced with the par three 18th requiring a 4 or even 3 iron for most of the field.
Despite the obviously more testing conditions ISM's Danny Dennison, continuing his recovery from injury in 2007, returned the lowest round on the Tour to date. His 20 foot birdie effort lipped the hole but failed to drop for a nine under 62. An eight under 63 did however show his class after a self confessed 'idiotic' 77 on the first day.Remarkably his card didn't include a birdie at the five shortest par 4's but did include 3's at the 483 yard 4th and 467 yard 10th. It looks like he will soon be ready to rejoin the Challenge tour on his Medical Exemption.
Contrary to Danny's score the other early returns suggested that overnight expectations of the winning total needed to be revised upwards. As the field moved through the 11th 4 or 5 under was the popular total for the leaders until Dykes posted 8 under retaining his two shot lead as Dwyer had remained at 6 under.
The final holes proved testing for the chasing pack and with only John Cheetham able to post 6 under with his second 68 to set the target.
The final group arrived on the 18th tee with Dwyer still at 6 under and Dykes at 8. Belt had showed his recent form was no fluke with three birdies to tie Dykes at 8 under. All three players found the green for two putt pars leaving Dykes and Belt to contest the play-off.
After the second visit to the 18th with Belt unlucky not to convert a 10 foot birdie try the players moved onto the short 12th where Dykes clinched the victory with another solid par.
The Senior section saw a tight match overnight with tour regular Brian Sharrock edging the spoils on 144 closely pursued by Pete Allan at 146 and Peter Seal on 147.
The Tour now moves into May with a high quality series of vunues haeded by Stt Annes Old Links next Thursday then followed by Hesketh, Caldy and Royal St David's.
