International Pairs is proud to announce China as its newest licensed territory, marking a major milestone in the continued global expansion of the world’s largest amateur pairs golf competition.
Leading this exciting new chapter is Daniel Woolnough, appointed as International Pairs Licensee for China. Originally from the U.K, Daniel brings more than 15 years of deep China-market expertise to the role, alongside fluency in Mandarin and a proven track record in building high-level international partnerships.
Building Bridges Between Golf, Culture, and Global Talent
Daniel has spent his career connecting world-class talent between the West and China, delivering and broadcasting major events across culture, sport, and business. His experience spans collaboration with UK, European, and American media, whilst also organising high-level partnership events and discussion panels with leading conglomerates across Europe and China.
In his new role with International Pairs, Daniel will spearhead the introduction and growth of the competition across China, one of the world’s most dynamic and fast-growing golf markets – while fostering strong relationships with clubs, partners, and players nationwide.
A Strategic Step for International Pairs
Commenting on the announcement, Armandt Scholtz, Managing Director of International Pairs, said:
“China represents a hugely important market for the future of amateur golf and for International Pairs globally. Appointing Daniel as our Licensee for China is a significant step forward. His deep understanding of the market, cultural fluency, and experience at the highest levels of sport, media, and business make him uniquely positioned to grow International Pairs in this region. We are excited to welcome China into the International Pairs family.”
Bringing the World’s Largest Pairs Golf Competition to China
With China joining the International Pairs network, golfers across the country will now have the opportunity to compete on a global stage – progressing from national events through to the prestigious International Pairs World Finals.
We look forward to welcoming the first pair in International Pairs history representing China to the World Final later this year, a landmark moment for both the competition and the continued growth of the game in the region.
This expansion underscores International Pairs’ mission to unite golfers worldwide through accessible, competitive, and unforgettable amateur golf experiences.
