On January 16 and 17, the Tryall Club will host its Fifth Annual Tryall Invitational Pro-Am Golf Tournament in partnership with Appleton Estate Jamaica Rum.

The tournament features a line-up of stellar golfers from Jamaica and overseas.

Ewan Peebles, director of golf at the Tryall Club, is elated about the great turnout for this year’s event. “We are so excited to have Appleton Estate Jamaica Rum sponsoring the event. I have no doubt that the combination of the Tryall Club’s renowned hospitality and Appleton’s famous product will ensure that our members and guests playing this week will have a spectacular time both on and off the course.”

The tournament will feature 15 teams, with each team consisting of one professional and three amateurs playing in both gross and net flights over 36 holes. In addition, the professionals will play an individual stroke-play tournament amongst themselves for a separate purse of US$3,500.

Florida-based Jamaican professional Peter Horrobin will be back to defend the title he won in 2014. But he will likely face some stiff competition from another two-time winner, Kirk Satterfield from New York City; last year’s runner-up Scott Reilly from Philadelphia; and Montego Bay’s own pride and joy, Paul Warren from Half Moon.

One of the most exclusive villa resorts in the world, the Tryall Club is home to one of the Caribbean’s finest golf courses. Featuring 18 holes, the course winds its way around the estate through the hills and down to a mile-and-a-half stretch of scenic coastline. In the past the Tryall Club has hosted many tournaments, most notably the Johnnie Walker World Championship from 1991 to 1995.
