The 2009 British Open Championship held up to its 138 years of
world-class tradition, resulting in one of the most exciting finishes
in Open history and a treat THG clients will never forget, says THG
General Manager Paul Meakins.

THG clients experienced not only
the worlds top golfers battle against the host Turnberry course, they
saw 59-year-old Tom Watson shoot a remarkable 65 during the first round
and hold his lead for a majority of the tournament. Watson lost to
Stewart Cink in a Sunday playoff.

The premier THG hospitality
resulted in commitments from a majority of attending clients to sign up
for next year’s 2010 British Open to be held back at St. Andrews Golf
Club. Reviewing the large number of corporations who attended from
around the world is a sign that now more than ever, many companies are
looking globally to achieve their business goals, Meakins says.

“This
is a trend we expect to continue,” Meakins adds. “Multi-national
companies are putting more emphasis on growth and they’re seeking out
global events like the British Open to provide opportunities to build
relationships and new business.”

“THG’s network of 350 covered
events addresses the global needs of today’s business leaders providing
executive hospitality to top-tier events in multiple countries,” adds
THG CEO Jon Stromberg.

As seen annually during this major
event, THG clients at the 2009 British Open took advantage of the
company’s facilities and enjoyed five-star catering service in between
rounds of play to network with colleagues and prospects, Meakins says.

THG
is offering hospitality packages during the 2010 British Open, where
the company will once again host more than 50 corporations and their
top accounts. For more information, click here.
