Island's top players expected to be part of eight-day event
The Isle of Man's top golfers are expected to be part of one of the biggest events on the calendar which gets underway this weekend.
The 2024 Isle of Man Championships will be held at Mount Murray Golf Club between 6-14 July.
Proceedings will get underway this weekend with the men's and women's qualifiers on Saturday at 7.30am and Sunday at 12.30pm respectively (6-7 July).
Following this will be the round of 16 matchplay stage next Tuesday (9 July) at 4.30pm.
That'll be followed by the quarter-finals two days later on Thursday, 11 July at 5pm with the last four taking place the following day (12 July) also at 5pm.
This year's championships will then conclude with the finals scheduled for 1pm on Sunday, 14 July.
Defending male and female champions - Robert Noon and Kayleigh Dawson - are both looking to claim third successive championship titles.
Isle of Man men's team captain Darryl Callister says whilst both come into this year's event as favourites, there will be plenty of strong competition they'll have to contend with:
New Southern 100 fan park coming to Castletown
Tennis: Harris and Broady out of Wimbledon men's doubles
FC Isle of Man to face first pre-season test
Cav's record-breaking Tour de France win "earth shattering" for the Island
Messages of congratulation flood in for Cavendish
Boxing: Rennie returning to the ring this weekend
