The Faldo Futures has an ambitious plan to offer the qualifying rounds to be hosted at any club across the UK with players qualifying for regional finals followed by the Faldo Futures Final being held at The Belfry in August 2024.The new tour is aiming to introduce competitive but fun golf to this younger generation, with competitions played over shortened courses that fit best with the host club. Nine-hole competitions will be split by age group and gender, with the top two players from each section qualifying for one of eight regional finals to be held in May.
ENCOURAGING THE YOUNGER GENERATION
Commenting on The Faldo Futures, Matthew Faldo, Tournament Director of The Faldo Series, said: “We’re delighted to be launching The Faldo Futures Tour for 2024. Encouraging the younger generation to participate in the sport is fundamental to its continued success and we’re very much looking forward to seeing hundreds of young people play golf, but more importantly have fun, during the first round.”
Golf clubs are now being invited to participate in the new tour by staging their own competition between March 22 and April 14. In addition to helping encourage participation of the sport among young people, clubs will receive support for their event including a digital competition platform, digital promotion pack, official Faldo Futures Venue logo, prizes for the winners and listing on The Faldo Series website.
The club will also benefit from the increased exposure by providing follow-up junior tuition opportunities and junior membership.
