We’ve joined forces with HSBC to relaunch the prestigious contest, which is open to every reigning club champion in the UK – and it’s FREE to enter. Titleist and FootJoy are also backing the event, with every finalist receiving shoes, balls and apparel.

The competition will culminate in a grand final at the renowned Turnberry Resort in Ayrshire in September, where players will compete on the revamped Ailsa course – host of the 2009 Open – the neighbouring Kintyre course, and stay in the five-star hotel.

Anyone who won their club’s premier strokeplay event in 2007 can enter the competition and follow in the footsteps of previous winner Gary Lockerbie, who went on to successfully graduate to the European Tour. European Tour winner Ross Fisher is another Champion of Champions graduate.

Right now, all you need to do is e-mail us to say you’re a reigning club champion, and that you’d like to take part in Champion of Champions. Send your e-mail to champions@profsports.com
