Siobhan McManamy, Tourism Ireland’s Director of Markets, said: “Golf is the world’s largest sports-related travel market, so we were delighted to invite these leading golf journalists to come and experience some of our top courses for themselves. Their radio broadcasts and online and print articles will reachms of golfers across the US and Canada, so their visit is an excellent opportunity to inspire a wide audience of prospective golf holidaymakers to visit the island of Ireland. “The Irish Open at Royal County Down Golf Club in September, the return of The Open to Royal Portrush in 2025 and the hosting of the Ryder Cup at Adare Manor in 2027 are key messages for Tourism Ireland in our golf promotions overseas. We know that the combination of our world-class golf and our unique brand of hospitality plays a key role in attracting golfers from across the US and Canada.”
