Killeen Castle proudly represented Ireland and the Boyne Valley region at the prestigious Invited Champions Classic, held this year at the renowned Kiawah Island Golf Resort in South Carolina, USA. As an official sponsor, Killeen Castle joined forces with Tourism Ireland to showcase Ireland’s world-class golf experiences, engaging enthusiasts and champions from across the United States in an event that celebrated global golf connections and the richness of Irish golf culture.
Cormac Ryan, Director of Golf & Hospitality Operations at Killeen Castle, was honoured to participate in the Classic, bringing the spirit of Boyne Valley’s golfing heritage to an international audience. He reflected on the experience, saying, “Participating in the Invited Champions Classic was an unforgettable experience. Representing Killeen Castle and Tourism Ireland on such a grand stage was not only a privilege but an inspiring opportunity to share the story of Irish golf with a passionate community of golfers from around the world.”
The Invited Champions Classic was marked by the spectacular views and challenging courses of Kiawah Island, offering attendees a phenomenal atmosphere that made it a standout event in the global golf calendar. The dedicated teams from Invited, as well as Tourism Ireland’s Donna Looby, David Connellan, Jeffrey S. Yau, and Martin Donnelly, worked tirelessly to create an impactful and memorable experience. Killeen Castle’s participation was further supported by collaborative efforts with Irish golfing organisations such as SWING Golf Ireland, North and West Coast Links Golf Ireland, NI Golf Tours LTD, and G Golf Ireland.
The event also emphasised Ireland’s standing as a world-renowned golf destination, spotlighting Boyne Valley’s rich heritage and scenic landscapes. “We’re incredibly grateful for the chance to celebrate our love for the game while promoting Boyne Valley and Ireland on an international level,” added Ryan. “It’s these connections that strengthen our global golf community and reinforce Ireland’s appeal to enthusiasts worldwide.”
