Waterford has a long-standing relationship with the Irish Open and this year we are celebrating 46 years of manufacturing the trophy.
In 2012, the Tour commissioned Waterford Crystal to design a new Irish Open trophy, developing a new concept, which was brought to life by our Mastercraftsmen in our manufacturing facility in Waterford City. It took our team six weeks to blow, cut and sculpt what has turned out to be a spectacular piece of crystal. The finished trophy features a beautiful and unique design of both flat and wedge cutting, with an exquisitely crafted crystal sphere, which makes a reference to the golf ball and showcases the expertise and skill of Waterford Crystal artisans.
Waterford has designed and manufactured a large array of sports trophies for major American and European sporting events over the past five decades and is synonymous with celebrating excellence around the world. Waterford produces the trophies for many tournaments including the Phoenix Open, the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, The Barclays, the Memorial, the Tour Championship, and the Honda Classic.
