Royal Portrush set to host The 132nd Amateur Championship

PRESTIGIOUS venues in Great Britain and Ireland - including Royal Portrush - will host The R&A’s amateur championships and international matches in 2027.
The 132nd Amateur Championship will be staged at Royal Portrush – host to The 153rd Open last summer – from 14–19 June.
Stroke play qualifying will take place over the Dunluce and Valley links, with the match play stages on the Dunluce.
A pre-qualifier will also be held on June 11 over the Valley.
The renowned Northern Ireland venue has held The Amateur Championship on three previous occasions, most recently in 2014 when Scotland’s Bradley Neil triumphed.
Johnnie Cole-Hamilton, Chief Championships Officer at The R&A, said: “It is important for The R&A to continue to underline the status of our amateur championships and international matches as leading events in amateur golf.
“They provide a pathway for elite golfers and give life-changing opportunities, including those that offer exemptions to The Open and the AIG Women’s Open.
“We aim to attract the best amateur players from around the world in 2027 and look forward to staging our championships at some of the sport’s most prestigious venues.”
