Guidelines & Criteria

The Golf Ireland Professional Scheme was established in 1999 by the then Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation to assist Irish golfers, both male and female, in the early stages of their professional careers on tour and to become established players on the major international tours.

The Golf Ireland Professional Scheme Committee was established to oversee the operation of the Scheme and to consider applications received under the Scheme. The Committee consists of a representative each from the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Sport Ireland, the Irish PGA, Golf Ireland, and the private sector.

Golf Ireland runs the Golf Ireland Professional Scheme and funding for the scheme primarily comes from Sport Ireland.
