The following amendment has been made to the 'Premier League Golf' announcement released on 7 June 2013 at 11:58 under RNS Number: 5683G reflecting corrections in respect of the event details in the second paragraph of the announcement.
The full amended text is shown below.
PMG, the AIM quoted sports, entertainment and media agency, announces that it has signed an agreement to promote "Premier League Golf" - a celebrity golf event to be staged in Singapore.
The event, to be held on the 19 and 20 June 2013 at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, will feature the following celebrities (plus others to be announced closer to the event).
- Rio Ferdinand
- Peter Crouch
- Harry Redknapp
- Andrew Cole
- Dwight Yorke
- Glenn Hoddle

- Les Ferdinand
- John Barnes
- Ozzie Ardilles
- Peter Reid

A number of these elite professional players will participate in a clinic with students from Marina Bay Sands' designated charities and local Singapore students. The footballers will teach a group of 80 students to perfect the art of juggling, dribbling and taking a penalty.
This is the third new event that PMG has added to its golf portfolio in the last seven months - having promoted the ADT Caps Ladies Masters Golf Tournament that was held in Singapore last November, and over the past weekend (7th-9th June 2013), successfully launched the Prudential Causeway Trophy.
Marina Bay Sands is the leading business, leisure and entertainment destination in Asia. It features large and flexible convention and exhibition facilities, 2,560 hotel rooms and suites, the rooftop Sands SkyPark, the best shopping mall in Asia, world-class celebrity chef restaurants and an outdoor event plaza. Its two theatres showcase a range of leading entertainment performances including world-renowned Broadway shows. Completing the line-up of attractions is ArtScience Museum at Marina Bay Sands which plays host to permanent and marquee exhibitions.
David Ciclitira, Chairman of PMG said:
"PMG is pleased to have added this unique event to its golf portfolio. With its star-studded line-up, Premier League Golf has the potential to become a permanent addition to Singapore's exciting calendar of events, and PMG could not have found a better partner than Marina Bay Sands."
Peter Reid said:
"I'm really excited to be involved in what I'm sure is going to be a fun event. Marina Bay Sands is a world-class venue, and I'm sure that me and the boys will have a fantastic time!"
