Following the phenomenal success at the sold out Student Masters 2011 tournament earlier this year, the 2012 event will move venue to the spacious Burlington Hotel, Dublin to accommodate more players.

 

The event features an estimated €20,000 in prize money, and Paddy Power will once again award the winner of the Student Masters a seat into the prestigious Irish Open 2012 worth €3,500.
