Slaley Hall Clutch Pro Tour event to be broadcast on Sky Sports

The Clutch Pro Tour’s £100,000 event at Slaley Hall is set to be broadcast on Sky Sports in a major step forward for the mini tour.

The event, which will be the first Clutch tournament broadcast on Sky, will take place July 15-19.

Keith Pickard – golf, health club & spa director for The QHotels Collection – said: “Our continued alliance with The Clutch Pro Tour as the official hotel partner is a proud testament to our dedication to the sport of golf. Hosting two events this year, including the first-ever broadcast on Sky Sports at Slaley Hall, highlights the synergy between our exceptional venues and the prestigious tournaments. This partnership not only enhances the visibility of our properties but also enriches the experience for all participants and guests.”

The announcement follows the news that the Clutch Pro Tour has been granted access to The Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR). Formed in 2019, the tour is an official feeder organisation for the Challenge Tour and in 2024 will offer the leading three players in the order of merit at the end of the season a card for the Challenge Tour in 2025.
