Last night, Tom Grennan headlined this year’s AIG Women’s Open at the iconic St Andrews course. The BRIT and Ivor Novello-nominated singer-songwriter kicked off the show performing his well-known hit ‘If Only’ to championship goers. As part of the Championship’s enhanced music offering, Fleur East also performed with hit singles such as ‘Sax’ and ‘Favourite Thing’.
Tom got the crowd singing with tracks ‘Let’s Go Home Together’ and ‘How To Feel’. He also performed brand new singles ‘Higher’ and ‘Full Attention’ and finished the set with popular classic ‘Little Bit of Love’.
Whilst performing at St Andrews, Tom Grennan said: “This is one of my favourite places on earth, no word of a lie. I watched the AIG Women’s Open and it was so good, and I can see everyone is out tonight for a good night.
Make some noise for the female golfers for inspiring a nation and a generation.”
This year’s AIG Women’s Open has seen 144 players from 29 counties go head to head, with homegrown talent such as Charley Hull and Georgia Hall going up against last year’s champion Lilia Vu and and world number one Nelly Korda.
This year’s Championship featured a vibrant festival village with activities like golf lessons, lawn games, mini golf, shopping, bars, and food trucks. The Sessions Stage boasted a diverse lineup, including player showcases and a live DJ set by Scotland’s own, Stephanie Cheape. This enhanced entertainment offering led to notable success, reflected in a 30% increase in the proportion of female ticket purchasers and nearly a 10% reduction in the average age of ticket buyers compared to last year.
