Moy Park, has become an Official Sponsor of the 2015 Irish Open hosted by the Rory Foundation, which takes place at Royal County Down Golf Club from May 28 – 31..
This will be the fourth year that Moy Park has been an Official Sponsor of the tournament, having launched its successful partnership with the event at the 2012 Irish Open at Royal Portrush.
Alan Gibson, Moy Park UK and Ireland Director, said: “We are delighted to be an Official Sponsor of the Irish Open again this year. This will be the first time in 76 years that the Irish Open has been played at the world famous links in Newcastle, Co. Down, and only the second time in the last 60 years that Northern Ireland will host the event.
“The Moy Park brand is Ireland’s number one poultry brand and we are one of the largest companies in Northern Ireland, so we felt it was important to support such a prestigious event. The Irish Open will attract many visitors to Northern Ireland and will provide an opportunity for us to showcase not only our world-class hospitality but also our fantastic local produce.”
This is the first time the Irish Open is hosted by Rory McIlroy’s Foundation. The World Number One and reigning Open and US PGA Champion will be joined by two fellow Major winners from Northern Ireland, Graeme McDowell and Darren Clarke, as well as a host of other world class golfers such as McIlroy’s close friend and Ryder Cup opponent, Rickie Fowler.
James Finnigan, Commercial Director of the Irish Open, welcomed the continuation of Moy Park’s involvement in the Irish Open, commenting: “We are pleased that Moy Park has decided to renew their association with The Irish Open at the Official Sponsor level. It is excellent news for the Irish Open that such a leading global food company wishes to be an integral part of our commercial programme. With the number one golfer in the world headlining the 2015 player field on one of the world’s iconic golf courses, it is going to be a very special Irish Open Championship at Royal County Down”.
