G4D Open to be played at Celtic Manor
Wales' Celtic Manor is to host the world's finest golfers with disabilities after agreeing a three-year deal to stage the G4D Open.
The championship will be played in Wales for the first time in 2026, with the Newport venue also staging the event in 2027 and 2028.
The G4D Open, which was first played in 2023, is jointly run by the R&A and the DP World Tour and is supported by the European Disabled Golf Association (EDGA).
A field of 80 male and female amateur and professional golfers will compete over 54 holes of stroke play gross competition, with nine sport classes across multiple impairment groups.
The championship will be played on the Roman Road course rather than the Twenty Ten, which staged the Ryder Cup 15 years ago.
Organisers say next year's G4D Open, which will run from 14-16 May, will be "one of the most inclusive championships ever staged".
"The G4D Open is an important part of our drive to demonstrate golf is accessible and welcoming to all while inspiring and encouraging more people with a disability to take up the sport," said the R&A's Johnnie Cole-Hamilton.
"We look forward to taking the G4D Open to Celtic Manor for the next three years and continuing the development of the Championship."
Brendan Lawlor and Daphne van Houten were the respective men's and women's winners at the 2025 event, which was staged at Woburn, near Milton Keynes in England.
News that the G4D Open is coming to Wales follows this summer's successful staging of the AIG Women's Open at Royal Porthcawl.
