2021 Golf Scholarship

In line with the Partnership tradition of supporting third-level education, the Partnership is proud to launch a golf scholarship program for young Irish golfers to assist them on their educational and golf journey.

Supported by funds raised from our Golf Championship Series, the scholarship is awarded to one promising young golfer to support their further education in post-secondary or Q school journey.

Congratulations to Paul Murphy, recipient of the Irish American Partnership’s 2021 Golf Scholarship.

“I was a teenager when I first dreamt of becoming a professional golfer. While many of my peers moved on to more traditional pursuits, I never gave up on the sport.

While I absolutely love training and competing, I like to think of myself as more than just an athlete. I’m working hard to be a positive role model to the youth of today by being a leader and showing passion about a dream that I had when I started playing the great game.”
