Fairway to Furlong is delighted to announce Betfair as the official sponsors of their golf and racing events for Cheltenham Festival, Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood.

This relationship follows on from the success of last year when Betfair sponsored the Royal Ascot event at The Berkshire Golf Club. A further date has been added for 2012 at the Goodwood Estate to complete the Fairway to Furlong Series 2012.

The Fairway to Furlong Series combines top championship golf with a gala dinner and preview panel on the eve of the major UK racing festivals. Teams who compete in at least two of the three events stand a chance of winning the series and a fantastic prize. The Official Cheltenham Festival Golf Day takes place on Monday 12th March at the Celtic Manor Resort, marking the one year anniversary of this highly successful and popular venture.

Betfair's UK Sponsorship Manager, Claire Hodgson, said: “We are really looking forward to working in partnership again with Fairway to Furlong. The 2011 series proved these events have great potential and we believe they are the perfect way to celebrate the best of British racing and golf. ”

Ross Marshall, CEO of Palatinate Group which owns Fairway to Furlong, said: “We are delighted to have Betfair on board again this year. They have been extremely loyal supporters of Fairway to Furlong and we are hugely grateful for their backing. We hope to continue this relationship for many years to come.”
