Paddy Power unveils celebrity Golf Shootout tournament
England captain Harry Kane to join Good Morning Britain anchor Piers Morgan for all-star event
Paddy Power will host an all-star celebrity golf tournament featuring England captain Harry Kane and TV host Piers Morgan on 5 June.
The Paddy Power Golf Shootout will feature a cast of celebrity amateurs alongside professionals, including 2019 Open runner-up Tommy Fleetwood.
The event will be held behind closed doors at the Centurion Club in Hertfordshire and will feature a series of skill-based challenges, before culminating in a unique new golf format called Shootout.
Challenges on the day will include a live world record attempt, with the action being broadcast across Paddy Power’s YouTube channel, as well as on Sky Sports News, talkSPORT and Twitter.

The event is subject to a government-approved Covid-19 testing process, with all attendees tested before being permitted entry.
A Paddy Power spokesperson said: “Slowly but surely, the sporting world is opening back up – and it’s a real privilege for us to be putting on the first major golf event in the UK post-lockdown.
“Yes, golf – but not as you know it. Think of it as an opening ceremony to a summer of sport. Forget sitting in someone’s garden, you can socially distance from your sofa on Friday, with a day of unmissable sport to watch,” they added.
