THE PDC are once again supporting the future stars of golf with sponsorship of its HotelPlanner.com PGA EuroPro Tour event.
The PDC Golf Championship is being held from June 6-8 at Studley Wood Golf Course in Oxfordshire where 156 players are competing to win the £10,000 title on Europe’s leading development tour.
Last year’s event was won by Chris Lloyd who shot rounds of 65, 67 and 76 before winning a Play-Off against Alasdair Dalgleish with a birdie at the first extra hole to clinch the title.
“Just like the PDC circuit, the EuroPro Tour is about providing a platform for talented players to make their breakthrough,” said PDC Chairman Barry Hearn.
“In darts we’ve seen the impact Rob Cross has had since developing through our system and hopefully last year’s PDC Golf Champion Chris Lloyd, who won the 2017 EuroPro Tour Order of Merit, can enjoy success in golf."
