Gold Coast, Australia (June 20, 2013) -- Adam Scott's victory at the US Masters in April is creating record inquiry for participation in this year's Mitsubishi Motors World Masters Golf Championship to be held in Scott's hometown, the Gold Coast in southern Queensland, Australia.
Peter McCarthy, the managing director of event organiser, Go Golfing, is expecting more than 1000 golfers from around the world to participate in the week-long amateur event, now in its 18th year.
"There has been huge overseas and local inquiry since Adam Scott's win at Augusta," he said this week. "Many keen golfers want to experience the courses in the region where Adam Scott learnt to play, so this year's event will be very special."
The Mitsubishi Motors World Masters Golf Championship, the biggest tournament for club golfers in Asia-Pacific, will be held at four Gold Coast courses from October 20 to 26.
Open to male and female golfers over 35 with an official handicap, the competition is played in stableford format in 20 divisions based on age and handicap. A-grade golfers are eligible to compete for the best gross or stroke score.
More than $120,000 in prizes, including a new Mitsubishi car and overseas golf tours, are among lucky draw prizes guaranteed to be won.
The private and exclusive Arundel Hills Country Club, arguably one of the Gold Coast's premier and most challenging layouts, joins other host venues - the Greg Norman-designed The Glades, Jack Nicklaus-designed Lakelands and the new Australian PGA host course, RACV Royal Pines.
Peter McCarthy said Royal Pines would be in mint condition for the event, to be held only a few weeks before the Australian PGA, which Royal Pines has secured for the next five years.
"Golfers from as far as Saudi Arabia and Poland will join record numbers from south-east Asia for this year's Mitsubishi World Masters," he said. "Participants will enjoy Australia's favourite holiday playground, which boasts 57 kilometres of pristine coastline, surf beaches, vibrant nightlife and 30 golf courses, including eight championship courses designed by golfing luminaries. Springtime, with long days of sunshine and temperatures in the mid to high 20s is idyllic."
Nightly social events will be held at a poolside setting atop the 5-star Sofitel Gold Coast Broadbeach hotel.
