have enjoyed a successful inaugural SPGA Championship at Gleneagles,
however the direction of our business is moving to a more client
focussed approach. We wish the event every success and believe
this is in the interest of all parties.
“Carnegie has now informed its partners and other relevant
organisations including the PGA and European Tour.”
