Portmarnock Golf Club is to approach the Government to seek its support for a formal approach by the club to The R&A to host the AIG Women’s Open and The Open at Portmarnock Golf Club at some point in the future.
Commenting, Niall Goulding, Captain, Portmarnock Golf Club said: “The Club has had informal contact with The R&A regarding the possibility of hosting the AIG Women’s Open and The Open at Portmarnock in the coming years.
“Without a detailed survey, it is not possible to verify the ability of the property to act as host to a major championship, given the significant infrastructural requirements of such an event.
The Club has determined that Government support would be critical for a project of this magnitude and, consequently, will now approach the relevant Government authorities to establish their position on providing support for a formal application by Portmarnock to The R&A to host a major championship.”
