Red Bull Final 5 jets
into the Nissan Irish Open
The Red Bull Final 5 – the golf competition that
rewards the best player over the final five holes – will be played at the Nissan
Irish Open. Europe’s star golfers will battle it out to discover who is the best
player when it comes to the crunch.
The best player over the final five holes across all
four days of the Nissan Irish Open will not only become the Red Bull Final 5
Champion but will also collect a prize that will have even the most jet-set Tour
player fully focused on finishing well.
The Red Bull Final 5 Champion will win ‘air miles’
on a private jet to transport him, family and friends as he competes on the
European Tour this season. The prize plane on offer is the Cessna Citation
Excel, a state of the art light jet with the all the comforts of a midsize
aircraft. Capable of speeds up to 500mph, the jet can reach 42,000 feet from
take-off in just 20 minutes.
The closing holes are where most mistakes happen on
a golf course, often due to fatigue. It is revealing that over the final five
holes on the entire European Tour last season, Ernie Els, the European Order of
Merit winner had the best average, almost a full shot better than his nearest
rival. At tour level, Red Bull will be running the Final 5 competition as part
of the European Challenge Tour in 2005 once more.
Red Bull Final 5 Club Competition 2005
In 2004, Red Bull Final 5 club competition was
played in 100 clubs north and south of the border. In 2005 we aim to reach up to
18,000 golfers by running 180 Red Bull Final 5 club competitions in the island
of Ireland.
The club competitions will take place between the
1st April and the 31st July across the island of Ireland. Each club winner will
qualify to compete in the Red Bull Final 5 regional finals in Mid August in The
Heritage GC, Laois and Headfort GC, Meath.
The winner from each regional final will qualify to
compete in the World Finals in TPC Sawgrass in Florida against a host of other
European countries including the UK, Germany, Spain, Sweden and the USA with
more to follow. At Sawgrass, Red Bull will partner some of the US’s great Tour
golfers and coaches to help make this a golfing experience to remember.
