Arnotts to sponsor East of Ireland for three years

Arnotts will sponsor the East of Ireland Men’s Amateur Open Championship for the next three years.

This partnership marks the official launch of Golf at Arnotts.

With a heritage deeply rooted in Irish retail since 1843, Arnotts has long held a connection with golf.

In the 1990s, the store was home to one of Dublin city’s largest golf departments, serving as a destination for golfers from across Ireland.

The Golf at Arnotts campaign will extend beyond the course, featuring a dedicated in-store golf destination, a curated selection of leading golf apparel brands including Peter Millar and RLX Ralph Lauren Golf, and, from June, the addition of McGuirks Golf, further enhancing Arnotts as a leading golf retail destination. 

Commenting on the partnership and the championship, which will be played from at County Louth Golf Club from 29–31 May, Captain Mark Briscoe said: “As Captain of County Louth Golf Club it is my distinct pleasure to announce Arnotts as our new East of Ireland sponsor for the next three years.  

“Arnotts is an iconic retail brand first opening in 1843. As Ireland’s oldest department store it is a perfect partner to one of Ireland’s oldest championships."

Alma Hanley, General Manager, Arnotts, added: “Golf has long been an important part of the Arnotts heritage. Alongside our leading golf fashion brands, we are delighted to be opening  a new dedicated golf shop this July in partnership with McGuirks Golf, as we continue to enhance our offering for customers and golf enthusiasts alike.

“Our headline sponsorship of the East of Ireland Men’s Amateur Open Championship reflects Arnotts’ long-standing commitment to Irish sport and our association with one of the country’s most respected amateur tournaments. We are proud to support this year’s championship and to play a part in celebrating the sport and its enduring appeal.”
