LOCH LOMOND WHISKIES EXCITING NEW
PARTNERSHIP
Award-winning, independent Scotch whisky distiller Loch Lomond
Whiskies has agreed an exciting new partnership with The European
Tour, becoming the fi rst Offi cial Partner of the innovative new UK
Swing.
�he partnership with the European
Tour means that the distiller’s
innovative and exciting range of
Single Malt Scotch Whiskies will become
“The Spirit of the Tour” throughout the
duration of the UK Swing. Loch Lomond
Whiskies have been “The Spirit of The
Open” since 2018.
As part of the new relationship, Loch
Lomond Whiskies’ hand sanitiser will be
available on every tee during each of the six
UK tournaments when the European Tour
returns to action in July.
As an Of�cial Partner of the European
Tour’s UK Swing, Loch Lomond Whiskies
will also support the launch of the new ‘Golf
for Good’ initiative which will underpin all
European Tour events in 2020 by making
a positive impact in the communities where
the European Tour plays – and the wider
world of golf - rewarding heroes of the
pandemic such as front line workers, and
promoting the many health bene�ts that golf
offers to everyone.
The Austrian Open at Diamond
Country Club, from July 9-12,
will mark the return of the
Challenge Tour’s Road to Mallorca
after a �ve month pause following the
global outbreak of Coronavirus. It will
be followed by the Euram Bank Open at
Golf Club Adamstal, which remains in
its original slot on the calendar but now
begins a day earlier, taking place from
Wednesday July 15 to Saturday July 18.
Both tournaments will have prize funds of
€500,000 and will be dual-ranking events
with the European Tour, which fully
resumes its 2020 season with the Betfred
British Masters Hosted by Lee Westwood
at Close House from July 22-25.
Jamie Hodges, Head of the Challenge
Tour, said: “We are pleased to announce
the resumption of the Challenge Tour
season with the Austrian Open at
Diamond Country Club and the Euram
Bank Open at Golf Club Adamstal, two
dual ranking events which will take place
in consecutive weeks in July.
“Our measured approach to the 2020
season has mirrored that of the European
Tour and we have been informed each
step of the way by our Medical Health
Strategy, led by our Chief Medical Of�cer
Dr Andrew Murray, aligned to individual
government safety advice.
