Your Golf Travel is giving golfers the chance to discover what it takes to win a Major when the world's largest golf travel company stages an evening with 2011 Open champion Darren Clarke next month.

Clarke, 44, will be on hand with his close friend and manager Andrew 'Chubby' Chandler to give an exclusive insight into life as a global golfing superstar at a charity night at the famous May Fair Hotel in London on Friday May 24.

One of the European Tour's biggest stars over the last two decades, the Northern Irishman has enjoyed worldwide success since turning professional in 1990 including 22 wins worldwide and five successive Ryder Cup appearances from 1997-2006, while he finally ended his search for a Major by winning the Open Championship at Royal St George's two years ago.

And joining him to swap stories about life on tour at the 'Out of Bounds' evening will be Chandler, the mastermind behind International Sports Management (ISM) - one of the world's biggest sports agencies - which has played an integral role in the successful playing careers of the likes of Clarke, Lee Westwood and South African Major winners Louis Oosthuizen and Charl Schwartzel.

Tickets for the event, which will be hosted by talkSPORT's Georgie Bingham, cost £125 per person and also include a champagne drinks reception, canapés and entrance to the exclusive Mayfair Bar after the question-and-answer session.

Andrew Harding, co-founder of Your Golf Travel, said: "Darren Clarke has been one of the leading figures on the world golf stage for the last 20 years, which was capped by his fantastic victory at The Open.

"He has seen both the highs and lows of life as a professional golfer, while golf fans will never forget the role that he played in Europe's Ryder Cup victory in Ireland in 2006. 

"Chubby Chandler has been alongside him all the way and his story is a remarkable one in its own right, going from being a golf professional to running one of the biggest sports agencies in the world. It promises to be a truly memorable night." 

Clarke became Your Golf Travel's new global ambassador at the end of last year and has fronted a major four-month national advertising campaign for the company across the Sky TV network since January.

Your Golf Travel offers golf holidays and breaks to more than 3,000 destinations worldwide through its website and brochure.
