"Ian Woosnam has been appointed official ambassador for Welsh golf in the run-up to their first staging of the Ryder Cup at Celtic Manor in 2010.
Woosnam will captain Europe in this September’s match against the United States in Ireland, and the Welshman is delighted with his new role.
“I’ve been proud to represent my country many times in my golfing career, but this is a great opportunity to make a practical hands-on contribution,” said the 48-year-old former Masters champion.
“Ryder Cup 2010 is going to make a huge difference to the growth of golf in Wales and to Wales’ international standing across golf, leisure and business."
