Forming part of the Golf Ireland player pathway, the Funded Programme aims to assist players in gaining International experience, helping them to develop their skills towards improved tournament performance. Golf Ireland has announced 15 High Performance and 11 Developing players who will receive funding under this programme for the 2021 season.
Providing financial assistance that supports players’ participation in international amateur events is a key objective of the programme. It provides the opportunity to support players as they strive to balance competing internationally with commitments outside of the sport, such as careers and education. Players are empowered to become self-sufficient in the design and execution of their personal performance plans.
