The Highland Golf Links Pro Am 2023 has announced it is a sold out event with 75 teams attending from around the world to play in the three day golfing tournament. Each team of three amateurs and one professional will play on three of the world’s best courses at Royal Dornoch, Nairn GC, and Cabot Highlands.

The HGL Pro Am is supported by PGA in Scotland and is one of the richest tournaments of the year. Play runs from 2nd – 4th October.

Players will also get a chance to taste Tomatin’s new limited-edition expressions ‘The Italian Collection’ – three distinct and delicious single malts, each finished in wine casks from the sun-soaked hills of Italy.
