The opportunity

Ireland’s golf brand is right. The GB conversion needs the funnel.

Ireland punches above its weight on golf reputation: links pedigree, recent Open returns to Portrush, the Ryder Cup 2027 build-up. The job is converting GB customer attention into bookings. This co-op partnership builds the UK-facing funnel: a dedicated Ireland landing page on GTP, paid spend that targets GB golfers, and dedicated database email to thirty-five thousand active subscribers. Fifty fifty co-funded as discussed at IEC.
