The World Invitational was transformed into a completely new format in 2019 with Women being introduced to the tournament formerly known as the NI Open.
The $500,000 event couldn't have been scripted better with local favourite Stephanie Meadow securing her second professional victory and first on home soil. Fending off a challenge from the highest ranked player in the field, Charley Hull to finish on 6-under, one ahead of Hull.
In the men’s event England's Jack Senior beat his good friend Matthew Baldwin in a sudden death play-off.
