PERTH, (10 October 2014)—The International Sports Promotion Society (ISPS), has today been announced as the title sponsor for the ISPS HANDA Perth International tournament for the third consecutive year.

 

Dr Haruhisa Handa, ISPS’ Founder and Patron of Golf Australia, said he was pleased to again be supporting this significant event on the international golf calendar.

 

“The power of sport is a great tool for creating hope and breaking down educational and cultural barriers,” said Dr. Handa. “We choose to support events such as the ISPS HANDA Perth International to inspire and bring people together.”

 

ISPS has supported golf globally for many years and has sponsored events in Australia for almost a quarter of a century. Dr. Handa and ISPS are also committed to raising the profile of blind and disabled golf. The ultimate mission is for golf to become a Paralympic sport and the ISPS HANDA Perth International provides a great platform to promote this worthy cause.

 

“We have enjoyed our association with the ISPS HANDA Perth International over the past two years and we are looking forward to the most successful event yet in 2014,” Dr. Handa said.

 

David Rollo, Vice President and Director of Golf, IMG Australia, said, “ISPS’ commitment to both the ISPS HANDA Perth International and golf development around the world is inspirational. Dr. Handa and ISPS have a remarkable commitment to blind and disabled golf and to the sport in general and we are sincerely delighted to welcome them back as our naming rights partner for a third successive year.”

 

Hosting the tournament for the third time, Lake Karrinyup Country Club is widely acknowledged as Western Australia’s premier private golf club and has been regularly rated as one of the top ten golf courses in Australia.

 

The ISPS HANDA Perth International is the only Australian tournament to be co-sanctioned by the European Tour and the PGA Tour of Australasia and the field of 144 players will be headlined by major champions Jason Dufner, Charl Schwartzel and Geoff Ogilvy, along with Ryder Cup star, Victor Dubuisson from France, and defending champion, Jin Jeong.

 

The Perth International golf tournament is owned and promoted by IMG and proudly supported by the Western Australian Government through Tourism WA.

 

Tickets for the Perth International start from $22 and are available from Ticketmaster.  Children under 16 will gain free entry with a paying adult.
