The Golfing Union of Ireland has made several changes to the National Panel with Tom McKibbin, Keith Egan, Sean Flanagan, Matt McClean and Eanna Griffin the “new” faces on the 16-strong senior squad for the 2020 campaign.
Robbie Cannon, Alex Gleeson and Eoin Leonard make room for new caps McKibbin, Egan and McClean while Flanagan, who returned to the Irish team this season, is also named alongside Griffin.
The High Performance programme, which is supported by Sport Ireland, Sport NI and The R&A, will focus on the 36 players on the national panels.
Another 334 players have been named on Provincial and Regional coaching panels in the four provinces.
