"We are excited to be able to host the qualifying event in association with the TP Tour and also to welcome the TP Tour's ambassador, former European No.1 Ronan Rafferty, to Nailcote Hall," said event chairman and Nailcote Hall owner Rick Cresman.

There will be a maximum of six spots on offer at the qualifying event of July 8.

The likes of Tony Jacklin, Ian Woosnam and Sam Torrance will all be teeing it up at the Par 3 Championship, which takes place from August 6-9.

This winner of this year's Farmfoods British Par 3 Championship - organised by Champions (UK) plc - will take home a cheque for £25,000.
