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 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 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

Event Report

BARRY TAYLOR SHOOTS 65 IN THE FIRST MATCH OUT IN OUR INAUGARAL EVENT

Houghwood's Barry Taylor with the first card returned on The Players Tour handed in a stunning 65 with seven birdies and the rest pars despite playing through a heavy squall shortly after he started.

In a full field of 93 he was nearly caught by Stuart Davis, a regular on the Challenge Tour, in the last match who handed in an equally impressive 6 under round of 66. With Bolton's Steve Parry and Andy Herridge returning 67's the Tour got off to a great start with Joe Senior on 69 making up the sub seventy men.

The BBC's Paul Eales, a former winner on the European Tour on 70 tied with Mike Bardi for 6th just in front of a pack of 8 players headed by Royal Liverpool's Ian Keenan on one under 71.

The senior section saw Brian Sharrock take the honour with a very steady 73 just pipping the leading amateur Nick McCarthy, son of Dave McCarthy of True Temper one of the Tours main

Sponsors, on 74.

The course itself was highly praised by all the players although many said the greens were a bit quicker than the winter ones they were used to. All were very grateful to the West Lancashire club for allowing us to start our Tour on one of the areas premier venues.

We now move on to the equally challenging Hesketh Links in what should be another full field.
