Tom McKibbin's rise in the golfing world has been further emphasised by him being named tournament host for this year's NI Open European Challenge Tour event.
"It's pretty cool to have it this early," said McKibbin, of having his name directly associated with a professional tournament. "I’ll be there playing in the pro-am and I’m sure I’ll come back up on Sunday to see some of the action," added McKibbin, who clinched his first DP World Tour triumph last year with a memorable victory at the European Open in Hamburg.Building on his 2023 breakthrough campaign, McKibbin's consistent 2024 season thus far has included three top-10 finishes in his 11 events - highlighted by a fourth place at the Qatar Masters in February - and only one missed cut.
McKibbin, who is in 21st spot in the Race to Dubai standings, revealed that his missed cut in Singapore came during a week when he was suffering a bout of tonsillitis.
