Woodgate Aviation teams up with golf pro to launch race to The Open

Belfast operator Woodgate Aviation has signed up Northern Ireland golfer Jonny Caldwell as part of an all-out drive to win business ahead of The Open in 2019. Under the sponsorship deal, Caldwell will grace golf courses wearing shirts emblazoned with the Woodgate Aviation logo. The intention is to reach as large an audience as possible ahead of the build-up to the event that takes place at Royal Portrush Golf Club in Northern Ireland.

The golf pro, who plays in the PGA Euro Pro Tour, will be seen by a global television audience on Sky Sports as he competes in forthcoming tournaments. Caldwell says the arrangement is a most welcome boost: “I am delighted to have the company's support. I will wear shirts with the company's logo and hopefully drive up awareness of what this great Northern Ireland company is capable of doing.”

Business development manager Keith McKay adds: “This sponsorship is all about spreading the word that there is a world-class facility here with a proven track record in meeting the most exacting needs of the private jet customer. Golfers talk to golfers and I know Jonny will make a first-class ambassador for the company both on and off the course.”
