Wales’ Celtic Manor is to host the world’s finest golfers with disabilities after agreeing a three-year deal to stage the G4D Open.
The championship will be played in Wales for the first time in 2026, with the Newport venue also staging the event in 2027 and 2028.
The G4D Open, which was first played in 2023, is jointly run by the R&A and the DP World Tour and is supported by the European Disabled Golf Association (EDGA).
A field of 80 male and female amateur and professional golfers will compete over 54 holes of stroke play gross competition, with nine sport classes across multiple impairment groups.
The championship will be played on the Roman Road course rather than the Twenty Ten, which staged the Ryder Cup 15 years ago.
Organisers say next year’s G4D Open, which will run from 14-16 May, will be “one of the most inclusive championships ever staged”.
