SGH Events Yorkshire Invitational 2024 was a great success, this fabulous free event, where you can come to watch some famous players and celebrities at Ilkley Golf Club.
Ryder Cup-winning captain Thomas Bjorn hosts this year’s rendition following last year’s three-way playoff drama, with Matt Cort eventually emerging victorious in the alliance format.
The 2024 event took place on Tuesday, 27 August, and Wednesday, 28 August, and it attracted household names that you will know and love.
But don’t just take our word for it - a number of players and sports stars have told us how much they have enjoyed the event of the years.
Take a look at the glowing reviews SGH Events has received in years gone by:

Iain Pyman - Former European Tour player
“It’s unbelievable - I think last year was my second year. It’s absolutely amazing - the way they look after us, how professionally it’s done, it just shows by the amount of players that keep turning up each year and the celebrities we get. It’s a hell of an event and long may it continue.”

Gary McAllister - Former Scotland, Leeds United and Liverpool footballer
“The course was outstanding and it’s a beautifully organised event as well. I’ve got to say it’s top drawer.”

Michael Campbell - 2023 tournament host
“I loved it - it’s great. I really enjoyed being a host - it was a real privilege. It’s been a brilliantly run event by SGH and it’s a fantastic course here.”

Paul Eales - Former European Tour player and BBC and Sky pundit
“It’s always great to come back - such a great Yorkshire welcome. It’s been sensational - we’ve had ice creams, we’ve had shortbreads, we’ve had all sorts of stuff, and an Ilkley beer so it’s been great.”

Nile Wilson - Olympic gymnastic bronze medallist
“I love my golf and I’ve been super-excited playing here. It’s an unbelievable venue.”

Mark James - Ilkley member and former Ryder Cup captain
“It’s not far off a Legends Tour event and it’s just a joy to play.”

Georgia Coughlin - Ladies European Tour player
“It’s run so well and it’s a no-brainer to play here because it’s a nice, relaxed atmosphere.”

DJ Russell - former European Tour player
“It’s a beautiful course and the facilities are great - I’ll definitely be back.”
