Justin Rose’s efforts are snowballing for women’s golf.
Five days ago, The Telegraph reported that Rose and his wife, Kate, were creating and sponsoring the new Rose Ladies Series this summer. On Friday, the newspaper revealed that the retailer American Golf is matching the 35,000 pounds (roughly $44,500) that the Rose family is putting into the prize fund.
Charley Hull, Bronte Law and Laura Davies are among players who have signed up to play.
Originally, seven events were announced in the series, with an eighth event since added.
