Former European Tour Professional Gary Murphy Joins GreenGolfBall as Brand Ambassador

August 11, 2026

Murphy to Host Selected Signature Departures, GreenGolfBall’s New Collection of Guaranteed Golf Tours Across Ireland

(DUBLIN) – GreenGolfBall today announced that Gary Murphy has joined the company as Brand Ambassador, representing the brand globally both on and off the course. A former European Tour professional and current Legends Tour player, Murphy is one of the most recognizable voices in Irish golf, and will personally host selected Signature Departures, GreenGolfBall’s newly launched series of pre-confirmed golf tours across Ireland.

Signature Departures are limited to small groups of just 16 like-minded golfers, and remove the uncertainty that has always come with planning golf travel, offering a straightforward way to play some of Ireland’s most sought-after links courses. Rather than enquiring about availability and hoping preferred courses can be secured, travelers choose from departures that are already confirmed, with championship tee times, premium accommodation and a complete itinerary in place before they book.

The first Gary Murphy-hosted Signature Departure will take place from August 28 to September 4, 2027, exploring Ireland’s spectacular West and Northwest regions. Limited to just 16 guests, the tour will showcase some of the country’s most celebrated links courses, with Murphy hosting throughout the journey.

Hosting personally, Murphy offers guests insight gained from a career spent competing at the highest level of the game. Alongside championship golf, guests will enjoy stories from Murphy’s career, informal coaching, strategic course insights and local knowledge that brings each destination to life.

John Bolger, General Manager of GreenGolfBall, commented:

“We’re delighted to welcome Gary to the GreenGolfBall team. His knowledge of links golf, and his genuine enthusiasm for sharing it, make him exactly the right person to host these trips. Signature Departures give golfers something different. Guests simply turn up, join the group, and play, every detail is already arranged, so there’s nothing left to worry about.”

Gary Murphy added:

“I’ve been fortunate to play many of these courses throughout my career, and I’m looking forward to sharing that experience with our guests. Every course has its own character, and I’m excited to help golfers experience them properly, with someone who knows the ground. You also finish the week with a group of friends, and that shared experience is every bit as memorable as the golf itself.”

Signature Departures mark the next chapter for GreenGolfBall, and with Gary Murphy on board, a new way for golfers to experience Ireland’s courses alongside someone who’s played them at the highest level.
