Anybody who has not pre-booked parking and wishes to park on-site at the Pro-Am is encouraged to arrive early each day as additional spaces will be available, priced at €30 per day. If still tied, the trophy will be shared. "All the pros will have the time of their life, will have a great experience, but even though there's no appearance fees, the fact that JP will support these players, they have a friend for life in the fact that they've come and played in JP McManus's pro-am. "It is a bit of a bonus that you are going to Adare and you're going to enjoy yourself. "Whenever they're running a charity event, JP will be first on that list to support them, right around the world. JP will support them for the rest of their life and their charitable endeavours. “But JP asks nicely, and he will support every player who comes to his pro-am. “There are no appearance fees, no fees to go and play in the JP McManus Pro-Am,” he explained. The professional selects the best tee shot of the whole team at each hole and all three amateurs then play their second shot from this position.

Why is Tiger Woods in Ireland and what can he learn at the J.P. ... (usatoday.com)

The pro-am will serve as a good opportunity for Woods to simulate playing in a competitive environment with 40000 spectators watching.

But why might he be playing in a hit-‘n-giggle with a major looming? He’s turned the event into must-see TV to determine if he still has a pronounced limp as he did at the PGA Championship and to show how sharp his game looks. Woods, 46, defied the odds by returning from his serious single-car accident last February and multiple surgeries to play in the PNC Championship in December with son Charlie with benefit of a golf cart in the two-man team event. Given the obvious pain he was dealing with, Woods had little to gain in playing the final round. I played well enough to be here on the weekend. Woods has done his best to ghost the world since he withdrew from the PGA Championship at Southern Hills in May after gutting out another made cut at a major and shooting 79 on Saturday in cold, dreary weather.

Meet the amateurs rubbing shoulders with Tiger Woods and Rory ... (Irish Examiner)

Some of Ireland's best amateur golfers for will be at Adare Manor for the sixth staging of the JP McManus Pro-Am.

“Tiger Woods plays, I’d say, three golf tournaments in the whole year. And he's playing in this. “I am nervous because of the crowds,” he said with a laugh. “I'm madly looking forward to playing with some of these guys again,” he said, adding that because it’s a charity occasion, he knows the pros will be more “relaxed and jovial” making for an even better day. “It's a completely different golf course to 2010,” he says, the last time the JP McManus Pro-Am was staged (the Covid-19 pandemic thwarted the 2020 plan). Leddin, whose Whatsapp profile picture shows the Limerick native jumping in for a photo with Shane Lowry, has been a member of the Adare Manor Golf Club for some time, so he has some experience of the Tom Fazio-redesigned course.

Tiger Woods makes his latest return to action this week as part of a star-studded field at the JP McManus Pro-Am, with extended coverage live on Sky Sports.

Tiger Woods hasn't played competitive golf since he was forced to withdraw following the third round of the 2022 PGA Championship in May.

Despite the lack of reps, Woods has always had the 150th Open Championship circled on his calendar. Five years later, Woods won at St. Andrews again and claimed the second of his three Open Championship titles. I previously informed the USGA that I will not be competing in the— Tiger Woods (@TigerWoods) @usopengolfas my body needs more time to get stronger for major championship golf. I do hope and plan to be ready to play in Ireland at @JPProAmand at @TheOpennext month. The 15-time major championship winner will use this 36-hole exhibition as a tune-up of sorts as he sets his sights on the 150th Open Championship at the Old Course at St. Andrews next week. This victory marked the completion of the career grand slam at only 24 years of age and was part of the "Tiger Slam" from 2000-01.

Tiger Woods is playing in a tournament on Monday in Ireland. So ... (GolfDigest.com)

Unlike the Masters, PGA Championship and U.S. Open, Tiger Woods had never been coy about his intent to play in the upcoming Open Championship at St. Andrews.

Nine of the top 10 players in the World Ranking are competing, and roughly 30 of the top 100 players, each paired with three amateur partners. According to the pro-am’s website, €140 million has been raised in the first five events. The two-day event is hosted by McManus, an Irish businessman and philanthropist who owns, among other things, Adare Manor, which is scheduled to host the 2027 Ryder Cup. McManus, 71, first put on the pro-am in 1990 and has held it every five years through 2010. He skipped the U.S. Open in June to rest up for the Open. Why then play a week ahead in a pro-am? Before arriving in Scotland and the Home of Golf, however, Woods is making one early stop. Given Woods’ limited schedule as he continues to recover from his injury, it’s only natural to ask What is the J.P. McManus Pro-Am? and Why is Tiger playing in it?

Explainer: The JP McManus Pro-Am — why are Tiger Woods and ... (Irish Examiner)

An impressive list of top golfers and A-list celebrities are gathering in a Co Tipperary golf club this week — all in the name of charity.

There is also prize money for the amateur team with the lowest score on both days. Yes. The prize fund for the pros totals €1m, with the top prize worth a cool €250,000. The format will be a ‘Shamble’ (a version of a Texas Scramble) — the lowest single net score returned at each hole will be the team score. The primary purpose of the JP McManus Pro-Am is to raise money for charitable organisations. The JP McManus Pro-Am (a sporting event where both professional career athletes and amateurs compete) is a charity fundraiser that started in 1990 at Limerick Golf Club, with the aim of raising much-needed funds for charities and organisations in the Mid-West region. Two events are taking place simultaneously: The JP McManus Pro-Am Individual and The JP McManus Pro-Am. The pros will compete in a 36-hole stroke play tournament over two days, while everyone else will participate in the 36-hole nett team event.

JP McManus Pro-Am to deliver benevolent boost to Mid-West charities (Irish Examiner)

"But the most significant funding we got was in 2017 when we got €250,000 towards the expansion of the Community Enterprise Centre. “The centre first availed of the funding back in 2002, when the foundation gave us money towards the community creche," he said. Another one of the many groups that have benefited from the money raised is the organisation behind the Moyross Community Enterprise Centre.

There is a big gala dinner in advance of the Pro-Am so we have dressed a lot of people for that already. Anytime he is passing to play in the Manor or down in Kerry, he always stops in to say hello. Then when they do arrive, JP is giving all the wives and girlfriends a voucher to spend in the village. So whatever they spend, a percentage of that money then goes back to charity and the shops where the voucher was used then get to pick their own charities. “And there is a very good matched funding approach there as well so yes there is great kudos to JP McManus, the McManus family and the extended team for putting that commitment there. “Adare is well known domestically as a tourist destination - however, the Pro-Am elevated us all up onto a different stage and now we are seen worldwide as a destination. Adds Mrs Fitzgerald Kane: “That togetherness has always been here at a community level in Adare. We are small enough in that we all have to support each other. Here in Adare we are blessed to have such a close-knit community and can-do spirit.” The most recent one which was 12 years ago was in and around the €40 million mark in terms of the monies that were raised. She literally has had a bird's eye view of all the Pro-Ams in Adare and sums up an incredible global gathering in one word - benevolence. “What has been achieved by hosting the Pro-Am has been extraordinary. It is both a festival of fun and philanthropy.

Murray, a natural and staple of celebrity Pro Ams, had a great rapport with the galleries, walking along the ropes taking pictures and cracking jokes.

JP McManus Pro-Am: Tiger Woods struggles to opening 77 as ... (Sky Sports)

Xander Schauffele takes a three-shot lead into the final round of the JP McManus Pro-Am, while Tiger Woods struggled in his return to action at Adare Manor.

McIlroy birdied the eighth and produced a remarkable save from the pine straw after a wayward drive at the 13th, with the Northern Irishman rolling in a birdie at the 15th but slipping seven behind when he failed to get up and down from off the 17th green. Schauffele continued his birdie barrage with a hat-trick of gains from the fifth, with pars over the closing two holes seeing him close out a blemish-free opening round and setting the Adare Manor course record. The former world No 1 saw a birdie at the tenth cancelled out with a dropped shot at the next, while a brilliant chip-in eagle from off the 12th green was undone by bogeys at the 13th and 17th to leave him 13 strokes behind Schauffele.
