The Sinclair Invitational will return to Hanbury Manor Marriott Hotel & Country Club from September 4-6, 2020 with Caring Matters Now (CMN) announced as the tournament’s Official Charity Partner.
The 2019 season heralded a new era for The Sinclair Invitational, with the revamped tournament named after its founders Duncan and Corrine Sinclair, while the prize fund increased to £400,000 to place it among the most lucrative events on the Staysure Tour International Schedule.
England’s David Shacklady won his second Staysure Tour title at the Hertfordshire venue in 2019, carding a bogey-free final round of 66 to overhaul a four-stroke overnight deficit in front of his wife and children who were watching on.
The tournament will return to Hanbury Manor in 2020, with CMN set to benefit as the tournament’s designated Charity Partner.
Congenital Melanocytic Naevus is a condition characterised by large, brown, noncancerous patches on the skin, which if growing internally, can be fatal. The condition also increases sufferers’ chances of developing an aggressive form of skin cancer, called melanoma, as well as impacting an individual’s emotional wellbeing.
In addition to being the only UK charity dedicated to supporting those affected by Congenital Melanocytic Naevus, a genetic skin condition present in one per cent of infants, the charity also funds pioneering research to find a cure and raise national and international awareness of the condition.
“We are delighted to welcome Caring Matters Now as the Official Charity for the 2020 edition of The Sinclair Invitational,” said Mark Aspland, Head of the Staysure Tour.
“The work they do across the United Kingdom is tremendous, and we hope that The Sinclair Invitational and our players can help to spread awareness of the condition. The Sinclair Invitational was a big hit with our players last year and we look forward to returning to Hanbury Manor in 2020.”
Jodi Whitehouse, founder and Chief Executive Officer of Caring Matters Now, said: “On behalf of the Caring Matters Now Board of Trustees, I would like to thank the organisers and sponsors of The Sinclair Invitational for choosing Caring Matters Now as the Official Charity for the 2020 event.
“Through this prestigious event, the Caring Matters Now Board of Trustees are thrilled to be able to raise awareness of Congenital Melanocytic Naevus and the work of Caring Matters Now.’’
Stan Power, Director of Golf & Estates at Hanbury Manor Golf & Country Club, said: “Hanbury Manor are delighted to be continuing our relationship with The Sinclair Invitational. Each year the tournament has grown and is now a major event not only on Hanbury’s calendar but also in the local area.
“We are really looking forward to working with Caring Matters Now who are set to add a new dynamic to an already great event.”
Specific tournament dates and the full Staysure Tour International Schedule for 2020 will be announced in due course.
