Naas' Robert Brazil and Kill's Lauren Walsh in Squads

Golf Ireland has today confirmed that twenty one players will form the 2023 Men’s and Women’s High Performance squads. Twelve men and nine women have been selected, and they will form the backbone of Ireland’s international squads for next year.

Five players gained automatic selection on the Men’s squad, with any players in the top-250 of the World Amateur Golf Rankings (WAGR) gaining selection, along with the leading three players on the Bridgestone Men’s Tour.

U.S. Mid-Amateur Winner Matthew McClean (Malone), Robert Moran (Castle), Mark Power (Kilkenny) and Men’s Bridgestone Tour winner Hugh Foley (Royal Dublin) all gained selection through WAGR. They are joined by Robert Brazill (Naas) who finished third on the Men’s Bridgestone Tour.

The Men’s HP squad also features Jack Hearn (Tramore), Joshua Hill (Galgorm Castle), Max Kennedy (Royal Dublin), Alex Maguire (Laytown & Bettystown), Liam Nolan (Galway), Peter O’Keeffe (Douglas) and Luke O'Neill (Connemara).

Two players gained automatic selection to the Women’s squad, due to being in the top-150 of WAGR - Kill's Curtis Cup star Lauren Walsh (Castlewarden) is joined by 2021 AIG Irish Women’s Close champion Anna Foster (Elm Park)

Rebekah Gardner (Clandeboye) moves into Women’s squad from the Girls Under 18 panel for the first time.

Sara Byrne (Douglas), Beth Coulter (Kirkistown Castle), Áine Donegan (Lahinch), Kate Lanigan (Hermitage), Aideen Walsh (Lahinch) and 2022 U.S. Women’s Amateur semi-finalist Annabel Wilson (Lurgan) complete the Women’s HP squad
