English golfer Jamie Abbott has turned professional and signed a long-term contract with sports management agency, 4SPORTS & ENTERTAINMENT.
The exciting 23-year-old has revealed that he's signed an exclusive representation contract with the leading Swiss sports management agency.
Abbott, who made his decision to turn professional
two weeks ago, made an impressive start to his career with a second-place finish at his very first EuroPro Tour event,
the 2010 Veka Open at DeVere Slaley Hall.
The Suffolk golfer has represented England both as a junior and senior player, and produced a memorable performance at Kingsbarns to come through a four-man play-off and qualify for the Open Championship at St Andrews.
Abbott was also a member of the winning England team at this year's Home Internationals, where he recorded the highest winning singles margin with a 6&4 victory.
