"Dustin Johnson has been a great supporter of the Pro-Am in years past, so I’m delighted he will again join us in Limerick next summer," said Mr McManus.

"His career has delivered so much since the last Pro-Am and it’ll be a privilege for the spectators to see him in action.

"The same goes for Graeme, Matt and Rafa – three superb golfers all showcasing the true nature of the event.

"I’d also strongly encourage anybody wishing to join us in Adare to get their ticket caps ASAP – with one year to go we have already sold a large quantity and we don’t want people disappointed to miss out."
