The Golf1Million Series


Golf1million Series 1 is a new ground breaking golf event planned for October 2015. Is amateur golf about to get its first MAJOR?

Ian Whitty the creator of Golf1million explains why he thinks golf needs an event like this:
“Golf1million was created to give the average club golfer the chance to experience what Tiger Woods or Rory McIlroy would experience when playing in the Masters or The Open Championship. We all dream about playing the final hole at the Masters or standing over a six-foot putt to win the Open, but we could never have this experience until now. Golf1million will recreate this experience for all the golfers that are lucky enough to be drawn to take part in the event.

Over four days the golfers will get a chance to be part of the ultimate golf event and test their skills to the limit under extreme pressure while being watched by the TV cameras and thousands of golf fans.

How do you enter?
As we want golfers of ALL skill levels to have the exact same chance to take part in Golf1million Series 1 we have decided to select at random. 

Golfers simply have to buy a Golf1million Limited Edition shirt. With each shirt comes a card with a number and code. You then go online and register your card details and that’s it. You are in with a shot. Shirts can be purchased now on www.golf1million.com Shirts cost €27euro each.

We officially launch at the London Golf show in EarlsCourt, London from November 8th-10th 2013 and plan to attend golf events and expo’s worldwide from early 2014.

Who can take part: Any golfer over 18yrs old on the first of October 2015 that has an Official golf handicap. We decided to have a random draw to pick 50 golfers to take part as most golf events require rounds of qualifying, but our event wants to take this hurdle away and give everyone an equal chance to take part.

When and where will the event take place?
Las Vegas, Nevada, USA in October 2015.

What does the winning golfer get?
This is a winner take all event to create the ultimate pressure atmosphere. The winning golfer will walk away with World sports most valuable trophy worth a cool $1,000,000.

Happy McIlroy at Oak Hill

Rory McIlroy was in a positive frame of mind despite failing to climb into contention in the final round of the US PGA Championship.

The defending champion needed to shoot a low score after starting six shots off the pace but after a bright start blew any chance he had by taking seven at the par-four fifth.

A decent approach spun back into the water and then he pitched his fourth shot over the back of the green, but still managed to shoot a level-par 70.

"I actually didn't hit a bad shot, 168 yards to the pin, hit nine iron, pitched it just in the place where you can't pitch it I guess," he said.

"Obviously it was disappointing but I fought back well. I was four-under at that point and had just missed a short putt on the fourth to get to five.

"After doing that I just wanted to post as good a finish as I could.

"I saw a lot of great signs out there today. Hopefully I can just bring that through to the next few weeks and have a strong finish to the season."
