william hunt’s trilby tour
William Hunt is the creator of the Trilby Tour, as well as being a top designer for Savile Row and a true golf aficionado. He came up with an idea of a more competitive amateur tournament in 2007, he wanted to give amateur players, from all walks of life, a chance to compete in Pro conditions, with the pressure of a nationally televised event, plus fans watching your every move. His love of the game pushed him to challenge and redefine the game, creating the ‘winner takes all’ format. The Trilby Tour is the only amateur event that offers a truly professional experience, giving them a platform to get their names out in the golfing world, to literally millions of people, via the Sky Sports broadcasts.
