"The success of projects such as this is entirely dependant on corporate sponsorship. It is thanks to our new sponsors that we can take this project to the next level," she said.
Actress Kimberlin Brown of soapie TheBold and the Beautiful, who is the international ambassador of Project Golf 2014, attended the launch.
"I'm delighted to see this project taking off," she said.
