SKY SPORTS GOLF STAR INCI MEHMET PARTNERS WITH EXCLUSIVE COLLECTION

Exclusive Collection, a portfolio of hospitality and leisure venues spanning the English countryside, has unveiled broadcaster and former professional golfer Inci Mehmet as its newest ambassador.

In a 12-month agreement, Mehmet will represent the brand – and its seven luxurious properties, including popular Wiltshire golf venue The Manor House – across the UK’s growing golf community.

The former Ladies European Tour star will also use her considerable social media following – which currently stands at over 80,000 followers across four major platforms – to promote Exclusive Collection’s premium offering.

As a regular presence on Sky Sports’ golf coverage, Mehmet is a familiar face for golf fans across the UK and her involvement is a fitting reflection of Exclusive Collection’s growing stature in the sport.

Mehmet said: “I am very excited to be partnering with Exclusive Collection and bringing these fantastic venues to golfers across the UK.

“In particular, I’m looking forward to working with the team to drive participation in women’s golf, which is a goal we have both shared for many years.”

Stephanie Hall, group director of sales and marketing at Exclusive Collection, said: “We are delighted to welcome Inci as our newest ambassador and very proud to have someone of her standing representing our brand and venues.

“Inci is a hugely popular figure in the golf industry and brings a wealth of experience and knowledge of the sport, so she’s a perfect fit as we work to raise the game across our golf offering.”

The Manor House, home to an acclaimed par-72 parkland course designed by Clive Clark and Peter Alliss, is Exclusive Collection’s elevated take on the classic countryside golf getaway. The course and practice facilities are complemented by accommodation in the 14th century manor house, a street of quintessentially British cottages, top-50 gastropub The Castle Inn and the Michelin-starred Bybrook restaurant.

Fellow Exclusive Collection locations Pennyhill Park and Royal Berkshire are also perfectly positioned for trips to the golf-rich Surrey Sandbelt region, home to some of the world’s most iconic heathland venues.

Exclusive Collection’s expertly curated golf break packages at both venues combine first-class courses with exceptional hospitality and dining, including Pennyhill Park’s Michelin-starred Latymer.
