AIG Insurance has officially launched this year’s AIG Men’s and Women’s Cups & Shields and AIG Men’s and Women’s Irish Amateur Close Championships.
Dublin Gaelic Football stars Sinead Aherne and Cormac Costello were on hand to help the launch the season alongside Elm Park’s Louise Mernagh and Rachael McDonnell, James Kelly and John Cleary.
The football stars were talking to the media yesterday about the two big wins that their teams put up over the weekend and what the season ahead was likely to hold.
This year’s AIG Men’s and Women’s Cups and Shields are already underway with the finals in Tramore (September 1st-4th), Slieve Russell (September 7th-11th) and Knightsbrook (September 15th-18th).
This year’s AIG Men’s & Women’s Irish Amateur Close Championships are due to take place in Headfort between August 13th-17th (men) and Grange between June 11th-14th (women).
AIG has also tied in the day to day business of insurance by introducing a range of discounts and exclusives for Golf Ireland members including free golf equipment cover up to a value of €2,000 for clubs that are stolen.
“We’re delighted to be in the beautiful surroundings of Elm Park today to officially launch this year’s tournaments,” said Aidan Connaughton, General Manager of AIG Ireland.
“We’re very proud of the relationship we have built with Golf Ireland over the years and we’re sure that their members have benefited from our commitment to them.”
“We have been proudly sponsoring and supporting Irish Amateur golf for more than a quarter of a century now and it’s hugely important for us that we have always supported the men’s and women’s games equally.”
“This reflects and aligns with core AIG brand, diversity, equity and inclusion values along with supporting the communities and people we serve.”
“For well over two decades, AIG Insurance have been a tremendous supporter of Irish Amateur golf, and their ongoing commitment and support to the elite level and inter-club competitions is greatly valued by Golf Ireland,” added CEO Mark Kennelly.
“Elm Park and its golfers had such a successful 2021 season, that it felt right we launched our 2022 partnership with AIG at the club.”
