NEWPORT COUNTRY CLUB | MONDAY, JUNE 16, 2025
Thank you to our supporters and sponsors who helped make the Irish American Partnership’s annual Newport Golf Invitational a great success for the 34th year running. With sunshine, low winds, and great company on one of the USGA’s founding courses—the very site of the first U.S. Open—it was a perfect day for golf and giving back.
We were honored to be joined by former United States Ambassador to Ireland, Claire Cronin and her husband Ray. Ambassador Cronin thanked our golfing community at Newport for their longstanding support and spoke of the schools and programs she had visited with the Partnership.
We are deeply grateful to our players and generous sponsors, whose continued support helps us invest in education and community programs across the island of Ireland. Special thanks to our Leadership Sponsors Dave Greaney of Synergy and Charlie Donahue, our Luncheon Sponsor Greenberg Traurig, Evening Reception Sponsors Greystar and Brendon Properties, and our Official Travel Partner Aer Lingus.
Congratulations to our 2025 low net champions—Ned Carney, Patrick Carney Jr., Scott Farrell, and Jason Hantman of Claremont Companies—and to Steve Connelly of Connelly Partners, winner of the Aer Lingus drawing!
Together, we invest in the future of Ireland – the young people, culture, and ideas that are writing the next chapter in Irish history. We look forward to our 35th Newport Invitational next year, and with it, another chance to compete for the Irish American Partnership Newport Cup!
