Leading trolley brand Motocaddy is extending its support for the next generation of promising male and female professionals by partnering with the Clutch Pro Tour.
The leading golf trolley brand has signed a multi-year deal to become the Official Golf Trolley Partner of the Clutch Pro Tour, which recently announced a new elevated status in becoming an Official Feeder Tour to the European Challenge Tour and DP World Tour. Featuring a total of 36 multi-day events across the UK, the opening tournaments of the season are set to take place between May 2-4 at St Mellion in Cornwall and Luton Hoo in Bedfordshire.
During the season, the male players will compete for a chance to win two full Challenge Tour cards and 44 Challenge Tour invites in 2024 and women golfers are offered the opportunity to qualify for LPGA Tour events.
As part of the sponsorship, Motocaddy will title sponsor its own event – The Motocaddy Masters, which will take place at The Manor House Golf Club in Wiltshire from June 6-8. Set on the southern edge of the Cotswolds, the stunning Peter Allis and Clive Clark designed course will play host to a 54-hole stroke play event with a total purse of £60,000.
“Partnering with the Clutch Pro Tour is an exciting opportunity for Motocaddy, as we look to further support the development of up-and-coming professional golfers with aspirations of making it on Tour,” said Motocaddy Marketing Director, Oliver Churcher. “We have long been supporters of young British talent having sponsored the PGA EuroPro Tour for more than 17 years. With its conclusion in 2022, we are delighted that the expansion of the Clutch Tour is filling the void to ensure that the next generation of professional golfers have the opportunities they need to develop and experience the benefits of using our products.”
Commenting on behalf of the Clutch Pro Tour, co-founder and Director Tom Hayward said: “We are incredibly excited to announce a new multi-year exclusive partnership with Motocaddy for the Clutch Pro Tour. We are proud to begin working with Motocaddy and to add another internationally recognised brand to our portfolio of tour partners. Motocaddy share our passion for developing talent and we look forward to delivering a dynamic strategy that will support our membership as they progress through the professional ranks.”
As part of the partnership, Motocaddy will have branding and course signage at every event on the calendar, along with product placement. The brand will also be included in the comprehensive promotion of the events across the Clutch Pro Tour social media channels and email marketing.
