An additional 100 tickets have been tendered for the sold-out JP McManus Pro-Am charity golf event taking place at Adare Manor in Ireland on 6th and 7th July 2020.
The tournament reached capacity on 1st August, but due to unprecedented demand the European Tour has released additional tickets for public tender ahead of the sixth staging of the charity event.
A total of €140 million has been raised since 1990 (including a €40 million Benevolent Fund established in 2015 in the absence of a Pro-Am that year), with all proceeds going to charity.

Tournament host JP McManus said the main purpose of the Pro-Am is to raise funds for organisations most in need. The 2020 event sold out in record time, with players including Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Justin Rose and Open Champion Shane Lowry, and celebrities including Mark Wahlberg, Niall Horan, Jamie Dornan and Hugh Grant.
