Lookers is sponsoring this year’s EuroPro Golf tournament as part of efforts to support young sporting talent in the UK.

The HotelPlanner.com PGA EuroPro Tour is in full swing this week at The Lookers Championship, at Close House, Northumberland, and Lookers is offering competitiors a special incentive as part of its sponsorship of the event.

Any competitor achieving a hole-in-one will win themselves a Nissan Juke, Volkswagen Polo or Audi A1.

The tour represents the third tier of professional golf and gives emerging golfing talent the opportunity to climb up the ranks. Participants compete for over £800,000 in prize money and a place on the 2017 Challenge Tour for the top five finishers.

Heike O’Leary, marketing director at Lookers, said: “We are very excited to be sponsoring the PGA EuroPro Tour, which is a key date in the UK’s golfing calendar. It’s a perfect fit for us, as Lookers has a very proud tradition of hosting very successful charity golf events, so to be involved in such a prestigious tour is a fantastic opportunity.

“Lookers as a brand is beginning to establish a strong sporting pedigree, supporting various sports at grass roots level across the UK. We are a national retail group but are keen to be closely involved with the local communities that we serve.”

Daniel Godding, director of operations at the PGA EuroPro Tour, said: “We’re delighted that a premium brand like Lookers is sponsoring our event at Close House and helping us to gain even greater recognition within the sport. We’re also excited about the Hole-In-One prizes on offer and I hope at least one of our great young players will be able to drive home with a new set of wheels at the end of the week.”
