The Trilby Tour – the popular amateur series that thrusts ‘everyday players’ under the ‘professional’ spotlight – will return this year with an all-new format that will see women going head to head with their male counterparts.

In what is seen as a major shake-up to one of the game’s most iconic events, the Trilby Tour’s much-anticipated relaunch – under the new ownership of leading golf and leisure business Darwin Escapes – will be broadcast on Sky Sports and played across a series of top-class venues in England and Scotland.

Quality and equality

More attractive prizes, a reduced entry fee and with all competitors decked head to toe in the latest line of Glenmuir clothing with a host of player incentives, the tour’s premium look will set the agenda for a triumphant return. 

But undoubtedly, the biggest and most welcoming change comes with the news that women will have the opportunity to showcase their talents on a level playing field with the men as golf continues to thrive in the UK with playing numbers soaring over the last two years.

Golf Monthly columnist and Sky Sports presenter Sarah Stirk – who is also an ambassador for Darwin Escapes – commented: “I'm thrilled to be part of the all-new Trilby Tour for 2022. The game is in really good shape right now, and it’s great to see the Trilby Tour moving forward since Darwin Escapes purchased it last year.

“Not only is it now fully refreshed, with some great new partners, it also has women playing head to head with the men for the coveted title of Trilby Tour Champion. I can't wait to be part of the show.”

New courses - new structure

The three-month schedule, which will begin in June, will see the top 15 players – ten men and five women – from each of the summer’s four Championship events advancing to the Grand Final in September. 

The Trilby Tour Championship will commence at The Springs Resort & Golf Club on June 13 before heading to Carus Green on June 27 in Cumbria. 

Kilnwick Percy in Yorkshire is next on July 4, with matters then heading north of the border for the final Championship event in Ayrshire at the recently upgraded Dundonald Links on August 14 and then returning to the same venue to wrap things up with the Grand Final on September 19 - where the 2022 Trilby Tour Champion will be crowned.

Not your average golf event…

Created by legendary Saville Row tailor William Hunt in 2007, The Trilby Tour’s unique-selling point came with amateur golfers getting to experience the game as the professionals do, under tournament conditions and with the TV cameras following their every move.

The event quickly grew in numbers and popularity, with the camaraderie of the ‘Trilby Tourians’ and the competition’s fierce competitive format making it one of the biggest competitions on the amateur circuit.

What they said…

Ashley Pheasant, Head of Golf for Darwin Escapes, commented: “We can't wait to get going with the 2022 Trilby Tour. When we set out on this journey, we wanted to make this the best amateur golf tour in the country.

“With the changes we have made, we are providing additional value for competitors and are thrilled to see all our championships return to Sky Sports. It is fitting that we will have both men and women competing for the first time at Dundonald Links, the home of the Trust Golf Women's Scottish Open.”

Trilby Tour tees up dramatic season finale at Dundonald

10.39am 8th November 2022 - Sponsorship & Events

The Trilby Tour ‘s comeback season culminated in a dramatic finale at Dundonald Links in Scotland, crowning a successful return for the iconic competition.

In its first season under the ownership of  Darwin Escapes , the 2022 edition of the Trilby Tour saw both male and female golfers compete together in the Grand Final at the prestigious Ayrshire venue. Competitors from across the country battled it out in tough conditions on the par-72 course; eventual Champion Golfer Andrew Corssen, from Northshore, needed a stunning three-under-par score of 39 points to top a high-quality field. Wendy Allen earned the highest ladies’ score of the final with a 31-point total.

Corssen, the first Trilby Tour Champion Golfer of the Darwin Escapes era, said: “It hasn’t quite sunk in yet, because we were the first group out. I’ve been patiently waiting and now I’m just overwhelmed.”

The Grand Final saw men and women compete together for the first time in the competition’s 15-year history, with TV cameras on hand to cover the action for broadcast on Sky Sports Golf, hosted by presenter Sarah Stirk, from November 14.

Serving as the climax of an action-packed tour schedule, the final featured amateur golfers from all four qualifying events held over the summer at Darwin Escapes venues – The Springs Resort & Golf Club in Oxfordshire, Dundonald Links in Scotland, Kilnwick Percy Resort & Golf Club in Yorkshire and Carus Green Golf Club in Cumbria.

Ashley Pheasant, Head of Golf for Darwin Escapes, said: “We’ve worked hard to bring this much-loved competition back and make it better than ever, so we’re thrilled with how the Trilby Tour’s first revitalised season has unfolded. The weather was challenging on Monday, but Dundonald Links plays perfectly in any conditions and the quality of golf was excellent too. It’s also great to see male and female golfers competing together in the Trilby Tour for the first time.”

Sarah Stirk, who covered the event for Sky Sports Golf, said: “The whole Trilby Tour has really been elevated in 2022 and it was fantastic to see the culmination of a great year at the final at Dundonald Links.” There was a real sense of camaraderie between all competitors, and it was brilliant to see female golfers competing alongside the men. I’ve been lucky to interview the world’s top golfers over the last few years with Sky, but it was very special to speak to the winner Andrew Corssen about his victory and see him get so emotional. It was a special day in Scotland and I can’t wait to watch the Trilby Tour grow even further in 2023.”

The Trilby Tour will return in 2023, with an extended schedule and dates to be announced in December. In addition to the Trilby Tour trophy and an array of exceptional golfing equipment, Corssen has won the right to return for the 2023 Grand Final and defend his crown without needing to play any qualifying events.
