Nigeria Renews International Pairs Franchise

Golf Partners Worldwide is delighted to have agreed terms on the International Pairs franchise for Nigeria. The franchise has been acquired by Falcon Golf Development Company Limited, under the stewardship of Remi Olukoya, and will continue to grow International Pairs throughout Nigeria's golfing regions.

Golf has continued its steady growth in Nigeria and Remi Olukoya, Managing Director, Falcon Golf said "We are delighted to have secured the rights for International Pairs because the event has a long history here in Nigeria. Although the country is still emerging in the sport the enthusiasm for competitive tournaments is very high. I have personally been involved with International Pairs for some years now and am excited at the prospect of building this unique tournament here in Nigeria to be the first choice event for all amateur golfers."

Patrick Mulcrone, Managing Director, Golf Partners Worldwide said "It has been a great start to 2016. Falcon Golf Development Company is the perfect partnership to promote International Pairs in Nigeria. Their vision on growing the event throughout the region is an exciting prospect for us and we look forward to working with them.

After many years of hosting International Pairs in Scotland, Golf Partners Worldwide took the decision to move the event out of the 'Home of Golf' to sunnier climes in 2015.  The International Pairs World Final 2016 will be staged in Spain for the second year running at the Marriott La Sella Golf Resort from 1^st - 5^th November.
