Staff WriterThe Clutch Pro Tour rolls into Bishop’s Stortford Golf Club this week with Motocaddy taking headline billing for the Motocaddy Championship, a pleasingly tidy arrangement given the venue sits just three miles from the brand’s headquarters in Start Hill.
For a company best known for removing some of the grunting, dragging and low-level muttering from the business of moving golf clubs around a course, this is more than a convenient postcode exercise. It is Motocaddy’s second headline-sponsored event of the season on the Clutch Pro Tour and another firm nudge behind the development pathway for emerging professional golfers.
A Home Fixture With Proper Purpose
The Motocaddy Championship takes place from 10-12 June on the Clutch Pro Tour Tier 1 schedule, bringing a 160-player field to Bishop’s Stortford Golf Club.
The Hertfordshire venue is a par-70 layout measuring 6,404 yards from the championship tees. It has long been familiar ground for Motocaddy, not only because of geography, but because the club’s setting has made it a regular choice for product testing and photoshoots.
That makes this week feel less like a corporate fly-by and more like a home match. In golf, of course, home matches still have a habit of biting you somewhere tender if the putter goes cold.
OJ Farrell Arrives With The Wind At His Back
The event follows the Motocaddy Masters at Heythrop Park in April, where #TeamMotocaddy Brand Ambassador OJ Farrell won by one shot after rounds of 67, 69 and 66 to finish at 14-under par.
Farrell now arrives at Bishop’s Stortford as the current Order of Merit leader, which is a useful way of saying he has been doing rather more than simply turning up and admiring the bunkering.
He headlines a strong field that includes several #TeamMotocaddy ambassadors, with five players currently ranked inside the top 20 on the season-long Order of Merit. For a development tour, that matters. These are the weeks when careers move, confidence hardens and a player starts to look less like a promising professional and more like a dangerous one.
Motocaddy’s Growing Role On The Clutch Pro Tour
Motocaddy’s presence on the Clutch Pro Tour is not limited to a logo and a few polite handshakes. The brand is the ‘Official Trolley & Laser’ partner to the tour, with branding, product integration and event activation across the season.
In practical terms, this is the sort of partnership that makes sense. A development tour needs serious commercial backing. A golf equipment brand needs credible visibility among players who are trying to climb the professional ladder rather than merely pose next to it.
“We’re delighted to host the Motocaddy Championship at a venue which genuinely feels like a second home for the brand,” said Oliver Churcher, Marketing Director at Motocaddy. “We really enjoyed our involvement at the Motocaddy Masters, where it was fantastic to see a #TeamMotocaddy player kickstart the season with a win, and we’re excited to build on that momentum this week,” he added.
Prize Money, Trolleys And A Fair Bit To Play For
The tournament carries a £50,000 prize fund, which will be motivation enough for most players who know the exact cost of diesel, range balls and a week on the road.
There is also a distinctly Motocaddy-flavoured prize table waiting on the final day. The winner will receive a new 2026 M7 REMOTE worth £1,299.99/€1,499.99. The runner-up will take home a 2026 M1 electric trolley, while third place earns a compact-folding QB2 push trolley. A PRO 5000 Laser will also be awarded as a spot prize.
It is not quite the Open Championship’s Claret Jug, but for a touring professional, a reliable trolley and laser are hardly decorative extras. They are working tools. And if they happen to save a few steps, a few yards and a few muttered insults over the course of a season, all the better.
Bishop’s Stortford Gets Its First Clutch Pro Tour Moment
This week marks the first time a Clutch Pro Tour event has been held at Bishop’s Stortford. The championship will also be preceded by a Pro-Am featuring a selection of exclusive Motocaddy prizes.
For the club, it is a chance to stage a professional event with a proper competitive edge. For Motocaddy, it is an opportunity to connect its brand story with a course that has already played a quiet role in its product life. For the players, it is simpler: shoot low, stay patient and avoid the sort of three-putt that makes a man stare into the middle distance as though questioning all major life decisions.
The Clutch Pro Tour has built much of its appeal around opportunity. At Bishop’s Stortford, that opportunity comes wrapped in local relevance, commercial backing and a field strong enough to make the leaderboard twitch from the opening morning.
The Motocaddy Championship is close to home for the sponsor. For the players, it may be a step closer to somewhere much bigger.
