Launched by top Irish golfer, Padraig, the annual 3TS All Ireland Golf Tournament is now in its fourth year. This national golf tournament was first launched in 2003 by 3Ts as a means of raising awareness and funding for suicide prevention in Ireland .
Since its inception the tournament has been supported by Padraig Harrington, Paul McGinley and Darren Clarke. The tournament has also been very well received by Irish golfers with 8,000 - 12,000 golfers participating at club level annually.
Commenting on the launch of the tournament, Joe MacAvin, 3TS Golf Tournament Co-ordinator said:
“This is one of the key annual fundraising events for the 3TS and we have been delighted with the response from clubs around the country. We are also very proud of the fact that three of Ireland 's top golfers are willing to lend their time to supporting the tournament. The money raised from the tournament goes toward funding crucial projects to build the 3TS Awareness Campaign for action, intervention and prevention of suicide at all levels of our society.”
