While serving as a huge networking event, the tournament is held to raise money for worthy causes. In total, over €850,000 has been given to charity over the years. The receiver of money raised is largely selected by the tournaments victor. In total, the winner is allocated 50 percent of the prize pot, which can be given to a charity of their choice.
€81,000 of the €850,000 total was raised last year. This year, the 29th year of Pinmar Golf, is expected to be biggest and best event yet.
Speaking ahead of the tournament, Remy Millott, CEO of Pinmar’s parent company GYG plc., said:
“I am particularly excited about this year’s plans for The Pinmar Golf 2017. Whilst preserving the values of friendship, charity and enjoyment that serve the event so well each year, this time we have introduced several carefully-considered venue changes, an all-new theatrical performance from international show director Martyn Smith, and the presence of fresh high-profile celebrity ambassadors. The Pinmar Golf 2017 is sure to be the best yet.”

This year’s tournament will get underway on Thursday, 19 October.
The players will meet for breakfast at 6am London time, before taking to the course at 7am.
