In total, the Ireland golf ad will deliver 16.2 million impressions (opportunities to see) in US households during 2023.

Tourism Ireland also hosted its "Meet the Irish" media event at last weekend's US Masters in Augusta. The first major of the 2023 season at the Augusta National was an opportunity to highlight Ireland's world-class golf to the American golf journalists and tour representatives who were be in attendance. The Irish Open at The K Club in September, the return of The Open to Royal Portrush in 2025 and the hosting of the Ryder Cup at Adare Manor in 2027 were some of the key messages that were highlighted at the event.

Statement By Tourism Ireland's Head Of North America

Alison Metcalfe, Tourism Ireland's head of North America, said, "The US Masters provides an excellent opportunity for Tourism Ireland to highlight our world-class golf. The American golf market remains a priority for Tourism Ireland in 2023 and we continue to promote Ireland as a top golf destination.

"Golf is the world's largest sports-related travel market and Tourism Ireland is working hard to drive home the message that a golfing vacation in Ireland is about much more than a round of 18 holes - the combination of our world-class golf and our unique brand of hospitality plays a key role in attracting US golfers."
