Pentahotels Support EuroPro Tour at Caversham Heath

FRANKFURT, Germany, July 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

Pentahotels Championship to be staged at Reading venue this August

The PGA EuroPro Tour is delighted to announce pentahotels as the title sponsor of the Pentahotels Championship at Caversham Heath Golf Club 10-12 August.

Pentahotels represents a new generation of hotels. Known for its unique interior design and "neighbourhood" feel, the lifestyle brand stands for true innovation in the industry's 4-star segment. With 28 hotels across seven countries on two continents, pentahotels offers individual and business travellers comfort and style in a relaxed atmosphere. The hallmark of the hotel chain is the pentalounge - a combination of lounge, bar, café and reception - that stands out with its "living room" look and feel.

The PGA EuroPro Tour makes its debut at Caversham Heath this August. The Tour is Europe's leading development tour, and the European Tour's satellite in the UK and Ireland.

The Pentahotels Championship will carry a £50,000 prize fund with the winner taking home £10,000.

Offering direct access to the Challenge Tour through the final Order of Merit, PGA EuroPro Tour players will compete for over £800,000 of prize money in 2016, with the top five golfers at the end of the season awarded a category on the 2017 Challenge Tour. Providing vital experience of life on tour, players will compete in 14 main events at some of the UK and Ireland's premier golfing venues, including The Oxfordshire, Close House, East Sussex National and The Carrick on Loch Lomond. The season concludes with the Tour's top 60 players contending the Tour Championship. Players qualify to play on the  PGA EuroPro Tour either through a two-stage Qualifying School in the spring, or thanks to their 2015 achievements.

The PGA EuroPro Tour provides Europe's best up-and-coming golfers the chance to gain necessary experience of life on tour, and in particular in front of the TV cameras.

A two-hour highlights package from each event is broadcast on Sky Sports, and on networks around the world including Fox International across Asia, Fox Sports Australia, Fox Sports in Turkey, Greece, Malta, Cyprus and StarHub in Singapore. In addition, every event is available to watch on demand in high definition on our YouTube channel.

Alastair Thomann, Managing Director of pentahotels is delighted to partner up with the PGA EuroPro Tour this year: "Just like all sportsmen, we share the drive to go after our dreams and to succeed. And with the platform of this European Tour Championship, we look forward to introducing our brand to an even wider international audience."

Daniel Godding, Director of Operations at the PGA EuroPro Tour, said: "I am delighted to welcome pentahotels as title sponsor of our tournament at Caversham Heath.

"The Pentahotels Championship will see some of Europe's best young golfers playing the fantastic Caversham Heath and I am looking forward to a successful event in partnership with pentahotels and Caversham Heath. The support of sponsors such as pentahotels is pivotal to these events and the development of some of the world's best young golfing talent."
