Leona Maguire

Since 2019, we have been proud sponsors of Leona Maguire. Leona entered the professional game in 2018 off the back of a record-breaking collegiate career with Duke University. The proud Irishwoman has been a serial winner ever since she took up the sport in Co. Cavan but it was her decision to move to America, inspired by her life-long ambition to play on the LPGA Tour, that catapulted Leona into the big leagues.  

As an amateur, she was nothing short of sensational. A three-time Curtis Cup player with GB&I, Leona is a two-time Olympian representing Ireland in the 2016 Rio Olympics and the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. In 2017 she captured the Ladies British Amateur Championship title, becoming serial winner on the collegiate circuit. Maguire sat atop of the world amateur golf ranking for an incredible 135 weeks during her amateur career.   

Unsurprisingly, it didn’t take this born winner long to claim her maiden ‘W’ on the professional scene with Leona getting over the line, not once, but twice in her first full season at the Symetra Tour’s 2019 Windsor Golf Classic and the Symetra Classic. That blistering form meant she comfortably qualified for LPGA Tour promotion for 2020.   

Leona became the first Irish woman to represent the winning Team Europe in the 2021 Solheim Cup. Leona was a crucial player becoming the greatest Solheim Cup rookie when she went unbeaten. In February 2022 Leona followed this feat up by winning her debut title on the LPGA at the Drive On Championship and in doing so became the first Irish Women to win on the LPGA in history. Not stopping there, Leona recorded her second LPGA victory in June 2023 winning the Meijer LPGA Classic shooting a final day 64 to win by two strokes.   

In September 2023 Leona continued her memorable season as she proved to be a crucial part of Team Europe as they successfully retained the Solheim Cup in Spain with Leona delivering 3 points to the European side.  

Leona is a wonderful role model for aspiring young Irish athletes.

Hannah McLoughlin

Hannah McLoughlin joined Davy as a brand ambassador in October 2021.  

Her first introduction to playing hockey was when she was finishing up in primary school. Hannah associates her hockey career beginning when she was 12 and started playing during secondary school and then joined her local hockey club. This is where her real enjoyment and love of the game took off and put her on the rollercoaster of Leinster and Irish underage selections from the age of 15 where she won both U16 and U18 Interprovincial titles and competing at both U16 and U18 European Championships. Hannah made selection for the U21 Irish women’s squad when she was just 17 years old along with also getting her first senior international cap in the same year as her Leaving Cert. 

Hannah competed in two U21 European championships post this selection. She continued to train hard and was given opportunities within the Irish Women’s Senior team at various training camps, some capped, some not. Hannah played with UCD for 5 years alongside studying Economics & Finance before returning to her former club, Loreto hockey Club once graduated. Hannah is due to compete at the Euro Hockey League with Loreto in March 2023.  

In 2021, she competed at her first senior international ranking tournament in the Netherlands in June which was a European Championship and post this tournament Hannah made the Irish senior squad for the Tokyo Olympics in July 2021. Hannah is part of the first ever female Irish sports team to compete at an Olympic game. She has since gone on to compete in the 2022 World Cup and 2023 European Championships. She recently earned her 50th cap in the Paris Olympic Qualifiers in Spain 2024. 

Field hockey in Ireland is on a meteoric rise in popularity since the women’s team took home silver in the world cup in 2018 and went on to be the first Irish female sports team to qualify and compete in an Olympic Games. The team is due to travel to Spain this June to compete at the Nations Cup to hopefully earn a spot in the 2024/2025 pro-league. The Nations cup is an 8-team tournament with only one team grabbing a ticket for the pro-league.
