The 2020 Irish Kids Golf Tour Order of Merit is beginning to take shape ahead of this month’s Munster Trophy at Fota Island Golf Resort.

As competitive as ever, the age categories have been fiercely contested so far as both boys and girls aged 13 years and under experience professionally conducted tournaments like no other at this age level, preparing those taking part for a future in competitive golf.

This year the schedule includes the new ‘Race to Royal County Down’ tournament which will be an invite only event open to the competitors who win their respective ‘Order of Merit’ tables at the end of the season.

With five tournaments in play this year, each competitor will be awarded points by finishing in the top five positions in an event, with the best 9 players winning an opportunity to play for the ‘Race to Royal County Down Trophy’ on 30th October, 2020.

The Series has already touched down this year at stunning venues in Killeen Castle, PGA National Slieve Russell and most recently for its Connacht Trophy at Co. Sligo.
