The 2025 Yorkshire Invitational

The Yorkshire Invitational, presented by SGH Events, has established itself as one of the most prestigious flagship events on the Yorkshire golfing calendar. Ryder Cup Captain Mark James hosts the 2025 Yorkshire Invitational at Ilkley Golf Course on Wednesday, 3rd September and Thursday, 4th September. This year’s event introduces the inaugural Celeb-AM, where sporting icons will take to the fairways. Football legends Robbie Fowler, Lee Sharpe, and Gordon Strachan will serve as team captains, adding star power to the event. The Pro-Am will once again feature top golfing talent, including professionals Fraser Mann and Chris Hanson, as they compete alongside amateurs in one of Yorkshire’s most anticipated golf events.

Mark ‘Jesse’ James is a former professional golfer who had an impressive professional career that included eighteen tournament victories on the European Tour and finished inside the top five in The Open Championship on four occasions. Mark represented GB&I and Europe in the Ryder Cup seven times and went on to captain Europe in 1999 at the infamous ‘Battle of Brookline’. As an honorary life member at Ilkley Golf Club, Mark is sure to make The Yorkshire Invitational even more memorable for all those involved.
