Koepka confirmed for JP McManus Pro-Am
Brooks Koepka
World No 1 and four-time major winner Brooks Koepka has confirmed he will tee it up in the star-studded JP McManus Pro-Am this summer.
The 29-year-old Floridian will join Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Justin Rose, Mark Wahlberg and Niall Horan from July 6-7.
Eight of the world’s top 10 players have now been confirmed for the two-day event at Adare Manor in Co Limerick.
It will be a JP McManus Pro-Am debut for Koepka, who emerged from the Challenge Tour and European Tour in 2015 to land the Waste Management Phoenix Open.

After winning his maiden major title at the 2017 US Open, Koepka won the 2018 US Open and US PGA Championships before successfully defending his US PGA Championship title last season.
His 2018 US Open – USPGA Championship ‘double’ was the first since Woods in 2000, while last season’s PGA triumph at Bethpage State Park saw Koepka become the first golfer in history to hold back-to-back titles in two majors simultaneously.
Pro-Am host Mr. JP McManus said he is delighted Koepka will be at Adare Manor in July.
”It’s fantastic for the Pro-Am that Brooks has committed to the event and I extend our sincere thanks to him for doing so,” he said.
“It promises to be very special for the spectators to see a player of his calibre in action this July and we are also extremely fortunate to have eight of the world’s top ten golfers confirmed to participate.”
The Pro-Am takes place from July 6th-7th 2020 at the Tom Fazio redesigned Golf Course at Adare Manor.
The course, along with the Adare Manor Hotel, reopened in 2017 after an extensive refurbishment which earned the hotel the prestigious ‘Hotel of the Year’ award in the Virtuoso ‘Best of the Best Awards 2018’ and the ‘#1 Resort in Europe’ in the Condé Nast Traveler Reader’s Choice Awards 2019.
Once again, charitable organisations in the Mid-West will benefit from the Pro-Am, with many millions raised since the event was first held in 1990. Please note tickets for the event are sold out.
